Summer EBT Implementation Tracker

The Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer EBT) Implementation Tracker is a tool to help Summer EBT agencies and community organizations understand how participating states, territories, and Indian tribal organizations (ITOs) have decided to operate Summer EBT to most effectively serve their eligible children and families.

Summer EBT is a new federal nutrition program launching in summer 2024 that provides grocery benefits during the summer months to families with children eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. Summer EBT is an important tool to provide families with more food resources during the summer months, ensuring summer isn’t a time for hunger but a time for connection, exploration, and fun for all children. Learn more about Summer EBT and its benefits at the No Kid Hungry Center for Best Practices Summer EBT page. 

Information on program operations was collected from the Plan for Operations and Management (POM) each state, territory, and ITO submitted to USDA, as well as from Summer EBT websites and other channels for public information sharing hosted by the participating states, territories, and ITOs.
