New Jersey Department of Agriculture Distributes Summer EBT Benefits to More than 500,000 Children

With already more than 550,000 children across the state receiving their Summer EBT benefits, New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Ed Wengryn encouraged families who have not already done so to apply for the new Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer EBT) program. New Jersey is one of the 37 states participating in this new, permanent, nationwide USDA program to provide food dollars to low-income families with school-aged children over the summer months.
