Virginia is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to implement a new program called Virginia SUN Bucks. Through Virginia SUN Bucks, some families will receive extra money to help with the costs of groceries that include fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, dairy and meat at grocery stores, farmers markets and other places that accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) EBT benefits.
Each school-age child that meets the program requirements will get a one-time payment of $120. Benefits will be issued either on your family's SNAP EBT card or a pre-loaded Virginia SUN Bucks card that looks just like a debit or credit card and can be used to purchase groceries.
You do not automatically qualify for Virginia SUN Bucks if you attend a school where all students, regardless of income, receive free meals (unless you ALSO receive SNAP, TANF or Medicaid based on your income).
If you think your children could be eligible based on your how much money your household makes each month (see Income Eligibility Table below), you can apply two ways:
- Starting July 1, 2024, you can fill out the Virginia SUN Bucks application and print, sign and mail it to Virginia SUN Bucks, c/o VDSS, 5600 Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA, 23060. Applications must be received by Aug. 30, 2024. Please do not take your application to your local department of social services or school as they cannot process this application.
- Starting July 22, 2024, you can contact the Virginia SUN Bucks Call Center at 866-513-1414 (toll-free) or 804-294-1633 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. ‐ 6 p.m. Aug. 30, 2024, is the last day to apply by phone.
