Missouri has finally been approved to administer Summer EBT 2024, the SuN Bucks program. Families must submit their application by AUGUST 31, 2024 to receive the retroactive payment for June-August 2024. Missouri SuN Bucks Application: https://www.healthytogether.co/onboarding/missouri-sun-bucks
Summer EBT provides Missouri children who are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals the opportunity to receive critical nutrition benefits. Families will get a one-time $120 benefit per qualifying child loaded onto an EBT card. These funds can be used to buy nutritious foods at authorized locations. Eligible children can also participate in other summer meal programs, and receiving SUN Bucks has no effect on immigration status.
Some families will receive Missouri SuN Bucks benefits automatically, due to a child or family’s participation in another program that makes them automatically eligible for Missouri SuN Bucks, such as SNAP or Temporary Assistance. If you have questions, you should visit the Missouri SuN Bucks Eligibility Navigator at https://mydss.mo.gov/sunbucks-eligibility. The school does not operate this program, so our staff cannot answer your questions.
Households who need to apply can submit the application online by August 31, 2024 at https://www.healthytogether.co/onboarding/missouri-sun-bucks. Families can use the Missouri SuN Bucks Eligibility Navigator to see if they need to complete an application at
