Summer EBT Program Information
In summer 2024, North Dakota will launch Summer EBT (SEBT) a new grocery benefits program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school and when households might need a little extra help putting meals on the table. Most families will get these benefits automatically, but some parents will need to apply. The new program is in addition to free meals that kids of all ages can get at summer meal sites in their communities.
On Monday, April 15, 2024, parents, or guardians of eligible students will start receiving emails that provide information about the student's eligibility, how to update address information, or how to opt out of the program if they choose. We were not able to get email addresses for every eligible student. Parents or guardians may contact our office if they don’t get an email and want to know if they will receive benefits and/or update their address information.
SEBT special email address: NDSEBT@nd.gov
SEBT Web Site for Parents: NDSummerEBT.nd.gov
