About Summer EBT
Summer EBT helps close the summer hunger gap when children are on summer break and lose access to healthy meals at school. It will provide a onetime payment of $120 per child who qualifies. Families will use an Oregon EBT card to buy groceries at authorized retailers. An estimated 294,000 school-age children in Oregon may be eligible. Summer EBT became a new, permanent program through the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. Learn more at sebt.oregon.gov<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx>.
