Your Summer EBT Benefits Will Expire Soon! Summer EBT Benefits only last for 122 days (about 4 months) after you get them. If you received S-EBT benefits this summer, make sure to use them before they expire and are returned to the federal government. Once they expire, you can’t get them back.

If you need a new EBT card or want to know when your benefits expire, call 1-888-354-0012 and press Option 7.
