Summer EBT Application

Nebraska’s Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program (SEBT) application is available to households of eligible students who were not previously eligible to participate in the program. The application process is simple and fast and can be completed by phone or computer in just a few minutes. Please carefully read the information below before completing an SEBT application.

PLEASE NOTE: Fill out the Summer EBT application ONLY if the following apply to your family:

• Your student(s) went to a school at a National School Lunch Program (NSLP) during the 2024-2025 school year, and your students did NOT receive Free or reduced-price meals, but you think you are eligible based on the program’s Income guidelines. See a list of NSLP Schools
  • This includes students attending a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) school, where all students receive meal so at no cost, and who are not receiving public assistance benefits. See a list of CEP schools.
• You did NOT apply for Free or Reduced- price meals at the school during the 2024-2025 school year, but you think you are eligible based on the program’s income guidelines.
• Your application for Free or Reduced-prie meals was denied for being over income, but your household’s income has decreased, and you think you are now eligible.
• You are NOT homeschooling

Students who were approved for Free or Reduced-price meals during the 2024-2025 school year are eligible to receive 2025 Summer EBT benefits and do not need to complete an application. See the 2025 income guidelines here.
