Summer EBT is for school-aged children in households participating in SNAP, TEA, Medicaid Free or Medicaid Reduced, or for children attending a school that offers USDA National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program, and whose household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals. Families receive $120 per eligible school-aged child for groceries, and the benefit is delivered on a new or existing Summer EBT card. If they received Summer EBT last year, the benefits will be loaded on the same card–so families should make sure they still have their card handy! Most eligible families will be automatically enrolled, but some will need to apply. Families can check here if they need to apply, or if they should receive Summer EBT automatically: ar.gov/SummerEBT TIP: To apply at access.arkansas.gov, families click the “Apply for New Benefits” tab and then log in with an existing Access Arkansas account, or create a new one. If they’re using a printed application, families can email the completed application to SummerEBT@dhs.arkansas.gov or drop it off at their local DHS county office. Paper copies are also available at local DHS county offices. More help If families need extra help with their application, they can call Summer EBT help center Monday-Friday 8a-4:30p, at 1-833-316-2421. For questions about replacing a Summer EBT card, families can call 1-800-997-9999.

We’re getting ready to kick off the school year with our Community Pep Rally on Wednesday, August 6th, and we want YOU to be part of the excitement! If your group would like to set up a table at the event to showcase your program or sell items, please contact Jennifer Martin to reserve your spot. Jmartin@bpsbearcats.com
