Automatically enrolled children do not need to apply. Automatic enrollment will occur in the following situations: 
- The child is age 6-16 and received SNAP, Temporary Assistance, or Medicaid at any time during the period of eligibility, which is July 1st, 2024 - September 4th, 2025.
OR
- The child has been directly certified by their school for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program during the 2024-25 school year.

Starting June 2nd, 2025, eligibility letters for Summer EBT 2025 will begin to be mailed and will continue throughout the summer. If you receive an eligibility letter, you will receive a benefit. Benefits will become available on June 18th, 2025, and will continue throughout the summer. If you do not receive an eligibility letter for your child's Summer EBT benefit by August 1st, 2025, please call the Summer EBT Helpline at 1-833-452-0096.
