The Indiana Department of Education recently released information about the Indiana SUN Bucks program. Summer 2024 will be the first year for Indiana SUN Bucks, a new benefits program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out.
For those that qualify, it is important WCCS has your student's correct address in Skyward. That is where IDOE will mail the cards. This can easily be accomplished by completing registration, which is now open.

Are you currently approved for free or reduced benefits?
Summer 2024 will be the first year for Indiana SUN Bucks, a new benefit program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school, and when households might need a little extra help putting meals on the table.
How do I receive funds?
If the students in your household have already been approved and are currently on free and reduced, please do not submit an application! A card will automatically be issued and mailed to your household at the end of May.
Please make sure that your mailing address in Skyward is up to date.
Apply Now!
Most eligible families will get these benefits automatically, but some parents will need to apply. This new program is available in addition to free meals that kids of all ages can get at summer meals in their communities.
