2025 Summer EBT Templates

For 2025 Summer EBT Program administration, Summer EBT agencies must submit the following to their respective FNS Regional Offices:

• The 2025 Interim POM (iPOM) must be submitted no later than Aug. 15, 2024, and the interim POM must be approved by FNS in order to draw administrative funds.
• The 2025 Notice of Intent must be submitted no later than Jan. 1, 2025.
• The 2025 Final POM must be submitted no later than Feb. 15, 2025, and the final POM must be approved by FNS in order to draw food benefit funds.

FNS recommends submitting before the deadline when possible. This year, the iPOM and final POM are combined in the same document. See the instructions in the document for what should be included in the iPOM and final POM submissions. A complete FNS-366A and Budget Narrative are required as part of the iPOM submission and are therefore also due on Aug. 15, 2024.

This is a reminder that in states with multiple Summer EBT agencies, the coordinating Summer EBT agency is the primary point of contact for the Summer EBT Program and is responsible for the complete and timely submission of the POM. However, the POM must be developed in cooperation with all state Summer EBT agencies and be reflective of the plans and administrative funding needs of both. For tribes, the administering agency is responsible for its program's POM. For the purposes of these documents, the term 'Summer EBT agency' includes all administering agencies within a state or tribe unless otherwise specified.
