Summer EBT is available to all Kansas school children who are income-eligible to receive free and reduced-price meals during the school year. While many children were auto-issued for these benefits, plenty more can receive it, but only through an application. The deadline has been extended to October 15, 2024. Applications must be submitted through the Department for Children and Families (DCF) website at www.dcfapp.kees.ks.gov. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Kansas Appleseed team at hkottler@kansasappleseed.org.
