LIMITED TIME ONLY. 2024 Summer EBT offered Nov. 15th – Dec. 15th, 2024.

Families with children may be eligible for an additional $120 in grocery benefits per child through the Summer EBT distribution dates.

We have attached a flyer and a social media graphic you can use to help spread the word. Please use the language in the flyer to accompany the social media graphic. Also, consider forwarding this email to your lists or others.  

There are 3 ways to receive your additional grocery money.

1. Families automatically receive benefits on a new S-EBT card if their child was enrolled in SNAP or TANF. Also, if your child was on Medicaid AND free/reduced price school meals during the 2023-2024 school year.

2. If your child was enrolled in free school meals last year (’23-’24), you MUST apply to receive the additional benefit here:

Steps to receive S-EBT benefits:

1. Visit nheasy.nh.gov
2. Click the Summer EBT portal

 3. If you are at or below 185% Federal Poverty Level and your child didn’t participate in Free / Reduced Price School Meals, SNAP, TANF, or Medicaid last school year (’23-’24) you MUST apply at nheasy.nh.gov between November 15th and December 15th, 2024 to receive your card.
