The deadline to apply for Summer EBT has been extended to October 15th.
The original deadline was September 11th, so any family who thought they missed the deadline there is still time to apply. To receive these benefits, complete an application through the Department for Children and Families. Applicants will need to provide their name, child’s name, school, date of birth and address. They will also be asked to report their household’s income. There are no other documents or information needed, including social security number or proof of citizenship.
Applicants will need to create an account with DCF before applying. Families whose children qualified for free and reduced-price meals during the 2023-2024 school year may be eligible for $120 in food assistance benefits per child. The link to apply can be found here.
