Kansas families can still apply for SUN Bucks benefits to help feed school-aged children during the summer months.
SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, provides a one-time benefit of $120 for each eligible child to help families purchase groceries while school is out of session. Distribution of benefits began May 27th for households that received approval letters from the Kansas Department for Children and Families. Some families are automatically eligible and have been notified by DCF. Households that have not received an eligibility letter can still apply online through the SUN Bucks program website.
Applications will be accepted through 5:00pm on August 31st, with benefits issued after eligibility is determined. Families enrolled in DCF text notifications may also receive updates about their benefits. Officials note that children receiving SUN Bucks can still participate in other summer meal programs, like the ones in Coffeyville and Independence.
