New York State Summer EBT applications open July 1

New York’s Summer EBT program opens applications on July 1, providing $120 per school-aged child monthly for groceries during summer. Eligible families include those already on SNAP, Temporary Assistance, or reduced-price school meals, with others needing to apply online. Applications require a NY.gov ID and details about each child and household member. Funds expire 122 days after deposit, and applications close on September 3. The program aims to support low-income households while school is out.
