Missouri SUN Bucks
ATTENTION: The Missouri SuN Bucks program is currently waiting on approval. Applications are not available at this time. Please subscribe for email updates about the status of the program. For more information, view the FAQs.
What is Missouri SuN Bucks?
Missouri SuN Bucks is a new program to help families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer months of June, July, and August. Families will get a one-time $120 benefit per qualifying child loaded onto an EBT card. These funds can be used to buy nutritious foods at authorized locations. Eligible children can also participate in other summer meal programs, and receiving SUN Bucks has no effect on immigration status. To receive information on the status of the program, subscribe to receive email updates.
Is my child eligible?
Children may be automatically eligible for Missouri SuN Bucks and will not need to apply for the program if:
- The household already participates in SNAP or Temporary Assistance, or
- The school-aged child is in foster care, homeless, a migrant, or
- The child attends a school that offers the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program, and your household income meets the requirements for Free or Reduced Price Meals.
You can use the Eligibility Navigator to check if your child is eligible and if you will need to apply or not.
