Summer EBT (SEBT) is a grocery benefits program that helps families buy food for their school-aged children when school is out. Each summer, families will get one payment of $120 on an Oregon EBT card for each eligible child to buy groceries. Unused Summer EBT benefits expire 122 days after issuance.

Families may automatically receive Summer EBT in 2025 if your child got benefits for 2024 through an approved application. Or, your child experienced one of the following anytime during the 2024-25 school year: 

• SNAP food benefits
• TANF cash assistance
• Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) or Medicaid, and your household has income under 185% of the federal poverty level
