Announcement: 2024 Summer EBT

Date: May 10, 2024

Congress authorized the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer program as a permanent program. The Department of Workforce Services and Utah State Board of Education Child Nutrition Programs submitted an intent to participate in the Summer EBT program pending required state funding. To participate in the program, individual states had to secure half of the program costs from state funds. A funding request was proposed by the Department of Workforce Services during the 2024 Utah legislative session with the intent to begin the program in summer 2024. State funds for summer 2024 to operate the program did not pass the in the state budget request. This means Utah will not be able to participate in Summer EBT for summer 2024. The funding for 2025 was approved, Utah agencies are working towards participation next summer.

We encourage households to have their children participate in the summer meal programs in their area during the summer months. Information on summer meal site locations will be announced by participating school nutrition departments and non-profit organizations in the coming weeks. USDA Food and Nutrition will post a Meals 4 Kids webpage at: https://www.fns.usda.gov/meals4kids Links to an external site. in May to assist households in locating summer meal locations.
