📣REMINDER!
Spend your DC SUN Bucks before they expire and be
sure to keep your EBT card for next year!

Benefits expire about 4 months after they are issued, so why not pick up some healthy groceries while you’re doing your back-to-school shopping?

Find your exact benefit expiration date on your DC SUN Bucks notice or by signing into the DC SUN Bucks portal at sunbucks.dc.gov.

Remember! Keep your card for next year!
