Nebraskans are encouraged to use summer EBT funds before the expiration date

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Some Nebraskans will soon receive cancellation letters for unused Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) funds.

Per federal requirements, summer EBT benefits are available for 122 days, or four months, from the day after they are issued. The Department of Health and Human Services is required to return any unused funds to the USDA.

According to DHHS, the third group of eligible households received summer EBT expenses on July 19. Those who have not used all of their Summer EBT funds before the expiration date will receive a letter informing them of the required deletion on November 18th.

A household may apply for a replacement Summer EBT card no later than November 4 if the original card is lost, damaged or not received. After this date, a replacement Summer EBT card will not arrive in time to receive the benefits and avoid deletion.

Replacement cards can be ordered through the Summer EBT Card Replacement link or by calling (800) 383-4278, option 5.
