Summer Food Stamps July 2025: How Much Can You Get?

Families receiving Summer Food Stamps through the SUN Bucks program can get up to $40 per school-age child in July 2025, helping cover groceries while school is out for summer.

Summer Food Stamps July: The federal government is sending help to families this summer through the SUN Bucks program, which is also called Summer EBT. This benefit gives $40 per month to every school-aged child for the months of June, July, and August. That adds up to $120 per child for the full summer. The goal of this program is to make sure kids still have access to healthy food even when school is out and regular school meals are not available.

The USDA created SUN Bucks to support families during the summer break. Most families who already get SNAP, TANF, or free and reduced-price school meals are enrolled automatically. But families who don’t qualify automatically can still apply directly through their state or tribal SUN Bucks office. So even if you’re not in those other programs, there’s still a chance to get help by applying on your own.

In July 2025, families will receive the same $40 per child in most U.S. states, including all 48 continental states and Washington, D.C. Places like Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, where living costs are higher, may provide a bigger amount. But for most families, the July benefit stays at $40 per child.

How SUN Bucks can be Spent?

The money from the SUN Bucks program gets added to a special EBT card. Sometimes this is the same card used for SNAP, but in some cases, families get a separate SUN Bucks card. This card works like a debit card, and families can use it at approved places like grocery stores, small shops, farmers’ markets, and even websites like Amazon and Walmart that accept SNAP.

It’s very important to know that this money only works for food that you buy and cook at home. You can’t use it to buy hot meals, ready-made food, medicine, hygiene items, or pet food.

Also, the money doesn’t last forever. The benefits expire after 122 days from the date they were added to the card. So families should try to use their funds before they run out.
