CNP summer EBT admin

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the West Virginia Department of Human Services $1,197,467 on October 1, 2025, under the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program for Children (CFDA 10.646). The award covers administrative costs for West Virginia's Summer EBT program, which provides nutrition benefits to children who lose access to free and reduced price meals through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program during summer break. Eligible children receive EBT card benefits that can be used to purchase food from approved retailers. Children qualify based on eligibility for free or reduced price school meals determined in the prior school year or during summer; some are automatically enrolled through administrative data, while others must apply and be determined eligible. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with all work performed in West Virginia.
