Summer EBT - S-EBT

When Will I Get My S-EBT?

S-EBT benefits are expected to be deposited late June 2026. If your child qualifies for S-EBT, you will get a letter stating when the benefits will be available. If you believe you should get S-EBT and didn't get a letter, call 1-844-503-6871, Monday – Friday 8:30am – 5:00pm.

If you need to apply for S-EBT, click S-EBT Online Application.

Mailed S-EBT cards may take a few weeks to arrive due to the large number being printed.
