Summer EBT Program

Families with children receiving free or reduced-cost school meals may qualify for free food this summer.

Chickasaw Nation Nutrition Services is now accepting applications for the Summer EBT for Children program.

This federally funded program is available to anyone; you do not have to be First American to qualify. Qualifying families will receive $40 of free food per child per month for May, June and July. Benefits are placed on an EBT card (works like a debit card) that allows you to purchase healthy food during the summer months.

Participation in this program will have no impact on other government assistance you and your child receive.

Information provided by you on the consent form or any records obtained for this program will be kept confidential as required by law and will be used only for this project.

Once approved, Summer EBT cards are mailed to the address provided, along with a list of participating stores. You will also receive a food card (shopping list) to help you identify approved food items.

To apply online, click the “Apply” button at the top right of this page.

  • The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requires the information on this application. You do not have to give the information, but if you do not, we cannot approve your child for free or reduced-price meals. You must include the last four digits of the Social Security number of the adult household member who signs the application. The last four digits of the Social Security number are not required when you list a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) case number or other FDPIR identifier for your child or when you indicate that the adult household member signing the application does not have a Social Security number. We will use your information to determine if your child is eligible for free or reduced-price meals, and for administration and enforcement of the lunch and breakfast programs.
  • The Summer EBT program MAY share your eligibility information with education, health and nutrition programs to help evaluate, fund or determine benefits for their programs, auditors for program reviews, and law enforcement officials to help them look into violations of program rules.
  • Foster, migrant, homeless and runaway children, and children enrolled in a Head Start program are categorically eligible for free meals and free milk. If you are completing an application for these children, contact the school for more information.
  • Participation in this program will have no impact on other government assistance you and your child receive.
