About Us

Summer EBT benefits will come in the form of pre-loaded cards that families can use to purchase groceries. It unclear if you will receive a separate card for Summer EBT benefits or if it will be added to their existing EBT cards if you have one.

Only students who qualify for Free/Reduced lunch through National School Lunch Program based on income or who receive SNAP or TEA will receive benefits. Just because the whole school receives free/reduced lunch does not mean all students in the school will receive Summer EBT.

You can find out if you are automatically eligible for Summer EBT here: https://humanservices.arkansas.gov/divisions-shared-services/county-operations/summer-ebt/
