Summer EBT Income Eligibility Guidelines

The Summer EBT Income Eligibility Guidelines will show you the highest household income that is eligible for Summer EBT benefits if you must apply for benefits. To see if you will need to apply for benefits, use our eligibility tool or your state's eligibility tool if it has one. If your child does not receive Summer EBT benefits automatically, you must apply for benefits. For families applying for Summer EBT benefits, household income must be under the maximum income limits for your household size that's allowed for Summer EBT (185% of the federal poverty level). The income limits are based on where your child lives and the number of people in your child's household. Enter your child's state/territory of residence and household size to view the maximum income limits for Summer EBT for your household.
