Summer EBT will be available in Nevada for Summer 2025

S-EBT is a Child Nutrition program, for children who lose access to free and reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) during the summer months. Eligible families will receive a one-time payment of $120 in S-EBT benefits for each eligible child beginning in summer of 2025.

Children will be automatically eligible for S-EBT if they were determined eligible for free or reduced-price meals through a meal application, direct certification, or designated homeless, migrant, or foster while attending a school participating in the National School lunch Program or School Breakfast Program during the 2024-2025 school year. School aged (6-18 years old) children receiving the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) that meet the income limits for S-EBT at any time during the school year, will also be automatically enrolled.
