Summer EBT Benefits Available for North Dakota Families

North Dakota families may be eligible for Summer EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) benefits this summer — a program that helps families purchase nutritious food for school-aged children when school is not in session. Eligible children receive $120 per child, which must be used within 122 days of issuance.

How to Qualify

There are two ways children may receive benefits:

Automatically Eligible (No Application Needed) Your child will be automatically enrolled if any of the following apply:

• Approved for Free or Reduced-Price meals at an NSLP-participating school (excludes ND State 225 qualifiers, Pre-K students at non-participating schools, and Head Start students)
• Receives SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR benefits
• Receives Medicaid and is income-qualified
• Is experiencing homelessness, is a migrant student, or is in foster care at an NSLP-participating school

Apply Online If your child doesn't meet automatic eligibility criteria, they may still qualify. Families who meet income requirements for free/reduced-price meals but haven't submitted a meal application, or whose child attends a school where all meals are free but doesn't receive other benefits, can apply at ndsummerebt.nd.gov.

Important Reminders

• Make sure your child's school has your current contact information, including a valid email address.
• Monitor communications from the North Dakota SEBT Portal.
