☀️The 2026 SUN Bucks application is open! SUN Bucks provides a one-time $120 benefit per eligible child to help families pay for groceries during the summer months.

Some children are automatically enrolled in SUN Bucks. Those families should receive a letter soon confirming their enrollment.

If you do not receive an enrollment letter in the next few weeks and believe your child may be eligible based on the guidelines, you will need to apply. Applications for summer 2026 must be received by 5 p.m. on Aug. 31, 2026.

SUN Bucks 2026 benefits should be distributed this summer. We’ll share updates about the distribution timeline as details become available.
