What to confirm with the program
- Whether your child is eligible and whether an application is needed.
- The current application deadline and any notices already sent to your household.
- Which card receives benefits, how to check payments and who handles a missing card.
Do not assume that free school meals mean automatic SUN Bucks enrollment, or that SUN Bucks uses your regular SNAP card. Follow the instructions from the program serving your household.
