The Department of Public Health and Social Services is reminding families who received 2026 Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer benefits to use any remaining funds by Nov. 16.

The federally funded program helps eligible families purchase food for school-aged children during the summer months. Under federal requirements, any unused benefits will be returned to the funding source after the expiration date.

Families are encouraged to check their card balances and use their remaining benefits before Nov. 16. However, those who received their child’s card later and were given a different expiration date should follow the date provided.

Families who have not picked up their child’s Summer EBT card or need a replacement may visit the Bureau of Economic Security office on the second floor of the RanCare Building in Tamuning from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Monday through Friday.

For assistance, families may contact the Summer EBT Call Center at (671)735-7325 or (671)735-7310, or email kidssebtguam@dphss.guam.gov.

Public Health administers the Summer EBT Program locally in partnership with the Guam Department of Education.
