☀️ Summer EBT is back for 2026! ☀️

Families across West Virginia may qualify to receive a one-time $120 Summer EBT benefit for each eligible school-aged child to help with groceries during the summer months. 🍎🥪

Here are a few important things to know:
• Most eligible children are between ages 6–17, though some children ages 4–21 may also qualify.
• Many families will automatically receive benefits if they already participate in programs like SNAP, WV WORKS/TANF, certain Medicaid categories, or free/reduced meals through the National School Lunch Program.
• Families whose children attend Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools may still need to apply if they are not automatically enrolled.
• Applications are accepted through August 20, 2026.
• Benefits are expected to begin issuing starting May 24, 2026.

Please note: online applications are not available at this time. Applications can be picked up at your local DoHS office, or requested by calling 1-877-716-1212.

For income guidelines, eligibility details, and additional information, visit the West Virginia Department of Human Services Bureau for Financial Assistance website:

If you think your family may qualify, we encourage you to explore this resource and share with others in our community who may benefit. 💙
