Dear Parents and/or Caregivers,

Great News! The Missouri SuN Bucks program applications are now OPEN!

Do I need to apply?

A child may be automatically eligible for Missouri SuN Bucks and will not need to apply for the program if:

• The household already participates in SNAP or Temporary Assistance, or
• The child is age 7 through 17 and is in foster care, homeless, a migrant, or
• The child attends a school that offers the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program, and the household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals.

Families with children who are automatically eligible will receive an EBT card in the mail, or the money will be added to their existing EBT card.  

Check your eligibility

If your child does not meet one of the categories mentioned above, visit  mydss.mo.gov/SuNBucks to check the eligibility navigator tool to see if you should apply for the program. Certain household requirements must be met to qualify.

Need to apply?
