Biden administration to provide summer grocery money to 21 million kids. Here's who qualifies.

Wednesday, January 10, 2024 4:44 PM GMT

A new federal program will provide summer grocery money to 21 million children across 35 states, part of the Biden administration's goal of making sure students get enough food when they're not in school and can't access free or reduced breakfast and lunch. 

The program will be rolled out in 35 states and all five U.S. territories, while four tribes have also opted into the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer program, or Summer EBT, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Wednesday.

More families with children experienced food insecurity in 2023 following the expiration of pandemic aid that had helped boost household budgets during the health crisis. The sharp rise in inflation during the past two years, which has made groceries 25% more costly compared with prior to the pandemic, has also caused financial strain for many low- and middle-income families.
