The NJ Summer EBT Program provides low-income families with a one-time $120 EBT card per eligible child to help purchase groceries during the summer when kids might not have access to school meals.

REMINDER:  Eligible students will receive a new Summer EBT card each year. Summer EBT Benefits have a strict time limit. Families who receive Summer EBT funds have 122 days (approximately 4 months) to use their benefits. If benefits are not used within the 122-day time period, the funds will be returned to the federal government and cannot be reissued. The 122-day count begins the day benefits were loaded onto the Summer EBT card, NOT the day the card is received in the mail.
