The state of Missouri has pledged to finish distributing summer food aid to needy families after kids did not receive the aid until the last day of summer, according to a report.
The benefits were a part of a federal program called Summer Electronic Benefits, or SUN Bucks. Each state administered their own program, where each eligible child was given a one-time card loaded with $120, which could be used like a debit card to buy groceries, as reported by the Missouri Independent.
