How to apply?

If your household already participates in SNAP, TANF or the Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) during the 2024-2025 school year, your child will be automatically enrolled in the Summer EBT program. If your child is not automatically enrolled and you believe your child is eligible, you will need to fill out a simple application that will be available starting in May 2025. Please be sure to check the Summer EBT website sebt.oregon.gov for more updates. When applying, you will be asked to provide your child’s name, school, date of birth and address. You will also be asked to report your household income.
