Get $120 in summer food benefits for your child
Each eligible child can receive one $120 payment for summer groceries.
Most eligible children get their payment automatically. Some need to submit an application.
We can tell if you should apply for your child. Tap "Apply now" and enter your child's information.
Your child may be automatically enrolled if they go to a school that offers the National School Breakfast or Lunch Program (NSLP) and one of these is true:
- They receive SNAP or Colorado Works (TANF) benefits,
- Everyone in their household combined earns less than 185% of the federal poverty guideline. And, they either receive Health First Colorado (Medicaid) or have submitted an income form to their school,
- Are houseless, between homes, in foster care, or in the Migrant Education Program.
Children ages 6–17 who do not attend a school that offers NSLP but meet any of the above criteria may also be automatically enrolled.
If your child is not automatically enrolled, you should apply if:
- They attend a school, Pre-K, or Head Start program that offers the NSLP, and
- Everyone in their household combined earns less than 185% of the federal poverty guideline.
