Benefits can be used at local participating retailers to purchase groceries.\nMany children will get these benefits automatically\, but some households will need to apply. The benefits will be added to an existing SNAP/TANF EBT card or a newly issued Summer EBT card.\nTo learn more about SUN Bucks\, read more here.\nNote: For the first year of this program\, paper applications for children that are not automatically eligible will become available in July 2024.
