Summer EBT Program Helps Qualifying Families Feed Their School-Aged Children

The State of New Jersey will issue a one-time Summer EBT card, mailed to your home, in the amount of $120 for each eligible school-aged child (not including preschool students). Monies will be distributed as $40/month for June, July, and August.

Your child is eligible if your household already receives SNAP, TANF, Foster Care, or income-eligible Medicaid benefits OR your child qualified for federal free or reduced price meals for the 2025–2026 school year. If your household already receives any of the above benefits, your child/children are automatically enrolled, and you do not need to fill out a separate application for the summer benefit. Important: Please make sure that the school district has your current address on file. Cards will be mailed to that address, starting in June. The district cannot be responsible for cards sent to an incorrect address.

Please note that students who qualify for free meals under NJEIE eligibility guidelines are not eligible for this benefit.

If you need help feeding your kids when school is out this summer visit THIS LINK for more information, in both English and Spanish.

Free Digital Skills Training for People With Disabilities


Technology is essential for everyday life, yet access gaps persist. Only about 64% of people with disabilities use the internet, compared with more than 83% of people without disabilities. Expanding digital skills can help open doors to connection and opportunity.

 

AT&T, The Arc, and The Arc San Francisco have partnered to offer free digital skills training designed specifically for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The training uses plain language and practical instruction to support different learning styles and access needs.

 

Resources are available online nationwide, with in-person workshops offered in 14 regions, making it easy to access training in the way that works best for you or the people you support.

 

Participants will learn skills such as:

  • Getting started with computers, mobile devices, and video conferencing

  • Navigating websites and search engines

  • Online safety, passwords, fraud, and scams

  • And more

Whether you’re building your own skills or sharing resources within your community, this training is designed to help people feel more confident using technology and participate more fully in everyday life.
