Oregon Summer EBT: Nutrition Program for Kids

Summer EBT is a benefits program that helps families buy food for their school-aged children when school is out. Each summer, families will get a one-time payment of $120 for each eligible child to buy groceries.

Summer EBT is a program in partnership with the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE).

Getting Summer EBT does not affect you or your child’s immigration status. The Summer EBT program does not ask for immigration status and does not use immigration status to determine eligibility
