The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) sent out its second issuance of Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits. Throughout the 2025 Summer EBT period, households with eligible school-age children can receive assistance in buying groceries during the program’s second year of operation. A one-time payment of $120 will be issued for each eligible child, intended to cover the three summer months at $40 a month. Eligible families will have 122 days, or four months, to use summer EBT benefits. Summer EBT benefits can be used to purchase food at grocery stores, online food retailers and farmer’s markets that accept SNAP EBT.
