WACs 388-487-0010, 388-487-0020 & 388-487-0030

The department is proposing to adopt WAC Chapter 388-487, “SUN Bucks” including the following WAC sections:  WAC 388-487-0010, “What is the sun bucks program?”, 388-487-0020, “Is my child eligible for sun bucks?” and 388-487-0030, “General information about sun bucks benefits.” Adoption of these rules supports implementation of the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) program, also known as SUN Bucks. SUN Bucks is a new permanent program authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (H.R. 2617) to provide additional food benefits to certain eligible children for  designated summer periods (beginning June 2024). Related emergency rules are currently in place under WSR 24-20-016.
