To activate a SUN Bucks card, you typically need to use it at a point of sale (POS) terminal or an ATM within a specified timeframe, often 122 days of the funds being added to the card.

You may also need to set a PIN (Personal Identification Number) for the card, which can usually be done by calling a customer service number or through an online portal.

2. Locate the card activation section – Look for a link or button that says something like:

   • “Activate Card”

   • “Manage EBT Card”

   • “Sun Bucks Card Activation”

3. Enter required information, such as:

   • Card number (from the front of the card)

   • Date of birth of the child

   • Zip code or PIN

   • Case or reference number (if applicable)

🔹 Phone Activation

There is usually a toll-free number listed on the back of your Sun Bucks card. You can:
