Sun Bucks - For Families Receiving Free or Reduced Meals at Eaton Community Schools
Dear Eaton Families,
If the children in your household are currently receiving Free or Reduced meals at Eaton Community Schools - they will automatically be eligible for a program called Summer EBT (Sun Bucks). This summer program will help families buy food during the summer when school is out. Your children will automatically be enrolled in the program, so you do not need to complete an application.
If your children are not currently receiving free or reduced meals – a new meal application can be completed to determine your eligibility through April 30th, 2026. You may go online at payschoolscentral.com to fill out an application, or call our Central Office at 937-456-1107 if you have any questions.
Each family will receive $120 for each eligible school age child on a card that you can use to buy food during the summer at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers. Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) will be mailed to you or loaded on your current EBT card sometime in June. Not all children will receive the benefit card on the same day. If you receive duplicate cards or more than $120 per eligible child in your household, do not use the benefits.
If your address has changed this year, MAKE SURE YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS IS ON FILE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SO THAT YOUR CHILD RECEIVES THIS BENEFIT AT YOUR CURRENT HOME. You can check Final Forms and update any information needed. If your child’s Summer EBT is sent to the wrong address – the state will not be replacing those cards starting this summer.
If you are eligible but do not wish to participate in Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) contact the Central Office, 937-456-1107.
In addition to Summer EBT/SUN Bucks the children under 18 years of age in your household can also receive free meals during the summer at a summer meal site or with Summer pick up meals. Be looking for more information on those local summer meals.
Sincerely,
Janet High
