Families across Arkansas may qualify for additional grocery assistance this summer through the Summer EBT program. The program provides $120 per eligible school-aged child to help families purchase groceries while students are out of school for summer break.
Last year, Summer EBT helped more than 336,000 Arkansas children access healthy food during the summer months.
Many eligible students will automatically receive benefits, including children ages 5-17 who currently receive SNAP, TEA, Medicaid Free, or Medicaid Reduced benefits. Other families may still qualify but may need to complete an application.
Families are encouraged to review the attached information flyers to check eligibility requirements, application information, and important deadlines.
