The June distribution of the state’s SUN Bucks should be completed by now, and the distribution of SUN Bucks cards for families whose last names start with the letters M-P should begin the first week of July.
SUN Bucks cards help families buy food for children during the summer months when school is not in session.
If children are qualified for free or reduced-price meals, Cal- Fresh, CalWORKs or Medical they are automatically enrolled in the SUN Bucks program.
Households with children ages 0 to 22 years of age who qualify for free or reduced-price meals who don’t receive benefits from the above plans can submit a school meal or universal benefits application by Sept. 2 to determine if they qualify for SUN Bucks.
By mid July families whose last name starts with the letters R-S should receive SUN Bucks and families T-Z will see distribution in late July.
