SUN Bucks
SUN Bucks Summer Food Program Renewed For Kids in 2025!
California’s Summer EBT program, known as SUN Bucks, is returning in 2025. This food program provides families $40 per month for food in June, July, and August ($120 total) when children do not have access to school meals.
Most children who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals through a school meal application or Universal Benefits Application, or get CalFresh, CalWORKs, and/or Medi-Cal, are automatically enrolled. Children in foster care, experiencing homelessness, attending Head Start, and/or are considered a runaway are also categorically eligible and are automatically enrolled.
Visit the FAQ page for more information.
For cardholder assistance, the SUN Bucks helpline is available at (877) 328-9677. The helpline provides automated support 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Live agents are available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. To check your benefit balance and claim status, visit the California EBT cardholder website.
How to get SUN Bucks
Most eligible children are considered “streamlined certified” and do not have to apply for SUN Bucks. Children who qualify or are already enrolled in CalFresh, CalWORKs, or Medi-Cal (certified at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level), are automatically enrolled to receive SUN Bucks.
However, children who have not previously qualified for free or reduced-price meals may also qualify for SUN Bucks.

La mayoría de los niños elegibles se consideran con certificación simplificada y no tienen que solicitar los SUN Bucks. Los niños que califican o que ya están inscritos en CalFresh, CalWORKs o Medi-Cal (con certificación igual o inferior al 185 % del Nivel Federal de Pobreza) se inscriben automáticamente para recibir los SUN Bucks.
Sin embargo, los niños que no hayan calificado previamente para comidas gratuitas o a precio reducido también podrían calificar para SUN Bucks.
