Sample Post for May

SUN Bucks is back this summer! SUN Bucks help to ensure that kids get the nutrition they need to thrive over the summer while school is out. Each eligible school-aged kid receives a one-time $120 EBT benefit to spend on groceries.

Keep an eye out for a letter in the mail! Most eligible kids will be automatically enrolled. Learn more about SUN Bucks and your child’s eligibility at: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/ofi/programs-services/food-supplement/sun_bucks

Sample post for mid-May - June

Keep an eye out for your SUN Bucks!

If you already receive SNAP or TANF, OR if you received SUN Bucks or P-EBT in the past, your child’s SUN Bucks benefit will be loaded right onto that card. If you haven’t received any of these benefits previously, you will receive a new EBT card with instructions in the mail. Benefits will be available June 6th.

If you need a replacement card call (800)-477-7428.

Use your SUN Bucks benefit to buy groceries at any participating retailer. Find out where you can spend your benefit at: www.fns.usda.gov/snap/retailer-locator
