Summer EBT

  • Summer EBT helps families buy food during the summer months when school is not in session. Eligible families receive $40/month per child ($120 total) to purchase groceries with funds placed on an EBT card.

Families are eligible if their school-aged children participate in SNAP, TANF, or Medicaid or attend a school that offers the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program and qualify based on income. For more information on student eligibility and common questions, visit the Colorado Department of Human Services S-EBT webpage: https://cdhs.colorado.gov/summer-ebt.

An EBT card will be mailed to each eligible student. To prepare for this, make sure your student's school has a current address and parent/guardian information. If you are receiving SNAP, Colorado Works, or Medicaid, make sure your caseworker has your current address on file.


Summer EBT (Transferencia Electrónica de Beneficios de Verano) ayuda a las familias a comprar alimentos durante los meses de verano cuando no hay clases. Las familias elegibles reciben $40/mes por cada niño ($120 en total) para comprar comestibles con los fondos colocados en una tarjeta EBT.

Las familias son elegibles si sus hijos en edad escolar participan en SNAP, TANF o Medicaid o asisten a una escuela que ofrece el Programa Nacional de Almuerzos o Desayunos Escolares y califican según los ingresos. Para obtener más información sobre la elegibilidad de los estudiantes y preguntas frecuentes, visite la página web S-EBT del Departamento de Servicios Humanos de Colorado: https://cdhs.colorado.gov/summer-ebt.

Se enviará una tarjeta EBT por correo a cada estudiante elegible. Para prepararse para esto, asegúrese de que la escuela de su estudiante tenga una dirección actualizada y la información del padre/tutor. Si recibe SNAP, Colorado Works o Medicaid, asegúrese de que su trabajador social tenga una dirección actualizada en el archivo.
