The 2025 SUN Bucks (Summer EBT) application is now available for families who must apply. Summer EBT increases children's access to nutritious food during the summer months.
Most families will get benefits automatically and do not need to fill out a SUN Bucks application if their child: Receives SNAP (food benefits) or TANF (cash assistance) benefits;
Gets a type of Medicaid that is income-tested, and their household’s income is within the limits for free or reduced-price school meals (185% of the federal poverty level);
Gets free or reduced-price meals because they completed a school meal application and were approved; or is enrolled in a school participating in the National School Lunch Program and has the status of being in foster care, homeless, a migrant, a runaway, or in Head Start.
All other families who meet the income rules to qualify can complete a SUN Bucks application online at https://assist.dhss.delaware.gov by Aug. 31, 2025. (Contact: 866-843-7212)
