The Virginia Department of Social Services will issue a one-time $120 food benefit through Virginia SUN Bucks beginning July 2025 to children who qualify. Children qualify and are automatically enrolled in Virginia SUN Bucks if they receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or an income-based Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid).
If you are not enrolled in SNAP, TANF, or Medicaid, you can apply and potentially qualify for Virginia SUN Bucks by visiting virginiasunbucks.com/ and mailing the application to Virginia SUN Bucks, c/o VDSS, 5600 Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060. Beginning July 1 through August 30, you can apply by calling the Virginia SUN Bucks Call Center at 866-513-1414.
The application for SUN Bucks will require you to enter your child’s “Local Student ID Number.” This is your child’s Lunch Number they use at school.
If you qualify, SUN Bucks benefits will be issued starting July 2025 on a rolling basis and will be loaded onto your current SNAP EBT Card or a Virginia SUN Bucks Card which will be mailed to the address on file with your schools.
