As of 2025, Oklahoma's state government has once again declined to participate in the federal Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) program. This article clarifies the current status of Summer EBT in Oklahoma, detailing how tribal nations have stepped in to offer assistance to eligible families within their jurisdictions.

The Maryland SUN Bucks program provided over $72 million in federally-funded grocery buying benefits to Maryland families in 2025. These funds are issued on an EBT card, which can be used to buy groceries and nutritious foods for eligible school-aged children during the summer when school meals are unavailable. This guide explains exactly where you can use your Maryland Sun Bucks.

For the second consecutive year, Oklahoma has opted out of the federal Summer EBT program, also known as SUN Bucks, leaving state residents without a statewide benefit. This decision means that families cannot receive summer EBT benefits directly from the state of Oklahoma, but there are exceptions through federally recognized Tribal Nations that have implemented their own programs.
