Summer EBT program returns for Kentucky families

Summer EBT benefits

Summer EBT benefits

Like last year, the program provides grocery benefits to families with school-aged children in households at or under 185% of federal poverty guidelines.

Families will receive $120 per eligible school-aged child.

If you received Summer EBT last year, the benefits will be loaded onto the same card. If you need a new card, call 1-888-979-9949.

Benefits are issued as a one-time payment and should arrive by late June. Families who are enrolled will receive a notification letter in the mail.

If you are not enrolled in the EBT program and believe you qualify for benefits, please visit this link to check your eligibility: https://feedingky.org/sebteligibility/
