WARREN, Ark. — The Summer EBT (SEBT) program is now active across Arkansas, providing eligible families with additional support to help feed children during the summer months.
Each eligible child will receive $120 in benefits. Families currently receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) may automatically qualify for the Summer EBT benefit. Those eligible through automatic enrollment will receive a letter confirming the benefit and do not need to apply.
For families not automatically enrolled, applications are encouraged. To apply or check eligibility, families should visit ar.gov/summerEBT. The website includes detailed instructions and necessary forms to complete the application.
The Summer EBT Call Center officially opened on May 1, 2025, and can be reached at 1-833-316-2421 for assistance.
Families who received Summer EBT last year will have this year’s funds added to their existing card. If the original card is lost, call the EBT Line at 1-800-997-9999 to request a replacement.
This benefit is administered by the Arkansas Department of Human Services and is aimed at ensuring children have access to nutritious food during the summer break when school meals are not available.
