SUN Bucks
A New Summer Food Program For Kids Started in 2024!
Starting
2024, you can buy more food for your child with California’s Summer-EBT
program, SUN
Bucks. SUN Bucks provides $40 per month
for food for June, July and August ($120 total) and works just like CalFresh.
Participating in SUN Bucks does not affect a family’s immigration status.
Most children who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals through a school meal application or an Alternative Income Form, or get CalFresh, CalWORKs, and/or Medi-Cal, are automatically enrolled. Some children may need to sign up. Visit our FAQs page for more information.
For cardholder assistance, the SUN Bucks helpline is available at (877) 328-9677. The helpline provides automated support 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Live agents are available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. To check your benefit balance and claim status, visit the California EBT cardholder website.
