☀️ SUN Bucks benefits are on the way! Beginning June 15, eligible families will receive a one-time benefit of $120 per child to help families buy food for their children during the summer months.

SUN Bucks benefits for eligible New Mexico students are expected to begin June 15, 2026.

SUN Bucks is a one-time summer benefit issued per eligible student to help families buy food while school is out.

Some families may receive their SUN Bucks card before benefits are loaded. Benefits will not be available prior to June 15.

✔ Check your mailbox
✔ Keep your previous SUN Bucks card
✔ Benefits may be added to last year’s card

You may receive a new SUN Bucks card if:
✔ Your student is newly eligible
✔ The eldest child in your household graduated or aged out
✔ Your parent/guardian and mailing address changed

Benefits for some eligible students may also be added to last year’s SUN Bucks card, so families should keep any previously issued cards.
