This year, Pennsylvania is introducing SUNbucks, a new grocery benefits program that provides households with a one-time payment of $120 for each eligible child to buy food while school is out.
Children who applied and were approved for free/reduced-price school meals or who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits are automatically eligible for SUN bucks. Those who are not a part of these programs can still apply.
