Nevada Kids Get Summer Food Boost

Nevada’s Summer EBT program is handing out $120 per child to over 300,000 kids this summer, ensuring meals aren’t skipped when school ends. The state’s pouring $36 million into this effort, with most families already receiving funds on EBT cards — new cards will arrive by mail by mid-July for those without one. Families can still apply before August 9th, especially if their child attends a school with free or reduced lunch programs. The state’s also ramping up outreach via texts, emails, and live chats to avoid last year’s missed payments. Meanwhile, nationwide SNAP applications are down — partly due to new federal work rules — so Nevada’s pushing hard to make sure no eligible family misses out.
