Some SFUSD families who were eligible for SUN Bucks did not receive their card in June. If your child was actively enrolled between July 1, 2024 and September 2, 2025, they may still receive their SUN Bucks card in the next mailing, expected in January or February 2026 (please note: delivery is not guaranteed).

Common Questions

  • My child graduated and is now in college. Are they still eligible?

    • Yes. If they were eligible and enrolled in an SFUSD school at any time during the eligibility period 7/1/24–9/2/25, they should qualify.

  • Can SFUSD confirm if my data was sent to the SUN Bucks office?

    • SFUSD can confirm your child’s eligibility status, but we cannot guarantee card delivery. Free or Reduced eligibility must have been established during the 7/1/24–9/2/25 for June 2025 Summer Sun Bucks.

  • How do I update my physical address with SFUSD?

    • A physical address is not required to receive your SunBucks card. To update it, submit the Change of Information Form at bit.ly/sfusdaddress.

    • The student must attend a school that participates in the National School Lunch Program and meet one of the following during the eligibility period July 1, 2025 – September 2, 2026:
      Be Directly Certified (CalFresh, CalWORKs)
      OR have an approved Free or Reduced-Price MFIF on file in SchoolCafe.com/sfusd
      OR be identified as Homeless, Foster, or Migrant by SFUSD.
