Summer EBT Benefit Levels Adjusted for 2026

USDA has published the 2026 Summer EBT benefit levels for children, effective January 1 through December 31, 2026. The contiguous 48 states and District of Columbia maintain the 2025 rate of $40 per month ($120 total summer), as the Thrifty Food Plan cost change of 0.49 percent rounds down to no change. Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories receive increased benefits reflecting higher food costs in those areas.
