Arkansas is participating in the new USDA Summer EBT program, which will provide $120 in grocery benefits to eligible students beginning this summer. As a provisional school, some students will automatically receive Summer EBT benefits and can expect to be mailed a Summer EBT card pre-loaded with $120 in benefits in early July.
The students who will automatically receive Summer EBT benefits are:
Students included on your Homeless, Runaway, Migrant or Foster list
Students that are on your Direct Certification list
Eligible students NOT on the lists above will NEED TO APPLY for Summer EBT. Please encourage your students who need to apply to do so as soon as possible, by going to the DHS website: ar.gov/summerebt to determine their eligibility and complete an application.
