General Summer EBT Updates:

• Virginia SUN Bucks will provide families with eligible school-aged children a grocery benefit of $120 per eligible child on an existing EBT card or a new Virginia SUN Bucks EBT card beginning in late August.

School-aged children receiving SNAP, TANF, or certain income-eligible Medicaid will automatically be enrolled in Virginia SUN Bucks without applying.

• Households with eligible children who attended an NSLP school but who do not have established eligibility, must submit a Virginia SUN Backs application to VDSS to be eligible, if their income qualifies.

• The fillable PDF application will be available to households on the website beginning July 1. It must be printed and mailed to VDSS in Richmond.

• All households who must apply will be required to submit the student’s unique local student ID number , which is the student's cafeteria number/ Powerschool number, on the Virginia SUN Bucks application.

• For complete information, all household and public inquiries can sign on to the VDSS website at www.virginiasunbucks.com

• A VDSS call center to support household questions and telephonic SUN Bucks applications will open later in July.
