The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) sent its fourth issuance of Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits to households with eligible school-age children. A one-time payment of $120 to purchase groceries will be issued for each eligible child, intended to cover the three summer months at $40 a month. Summer EBT benefits can be used to purchase food at grocery stores, online food retailers and farmer’s markets that accept SNAP EBT.
