Local school districts are sharing about a program that helps families with the grocery bill over the summer while school is out. Utah SUN Bucks, sometimes called Summer EBT, provides $120 per eligible school-age child to buy groceries. This is for families who receive assistance such as SNAP, TANF or Medicaid, or who qualify for free or reduced lunch at school. “Eligible children will be automatically enrolled and SUN Bucks will be added to their EBT account or issued on a separate EBT card this summer,” shares the announcement. If a child attends a school where everyone automatically receives free lunch but the child does not receive public assistance, they can apply for SUN Bucks at jobs.utah.gov/sunbucks.
