SuN Bucks
Families eligible by household income or directly certified to receive free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program, are eligible for a Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT), also known as Missouri SuN Bucks.
- This summer benefit provides the student a $120 grocery benefit to purchase nutritious food over the summer months.
- If your student currently receives free or reduced-price meals this school year, his/her information has been submitted to automatically receive the benefit.
- Families who do NOT meet automatic criteria but have income within program guidelines can apply online through Aug. 31, 2026, at mydss.mo.gov/SUNBucks
- Families who were not eligible for free or reduced-price meals during the 2025-26 school year, may use the Missouri SuN Bucks Eligibility Navigator at mydss.mo.gov/SUNBucks to see if they are eligible for an application.
