Summer EBT - S-EBT

What Happens If I Don't Use My S-EBT Benefits?

If you do not use the benefits on your S-EBT card for 122 days, or about 4 months, we will take them back. You will receive a letter in the mail at least 30 days before they expire. If the benefits are still not used, they will be automatically removed from the card.

Once S-EBT benefits are removed, they will not be replaced or reinstated.
