ODHS and ODE Encourage Families to Act Now to Secure Summer EBT Benefits
As summer begins to wind down, Oregon families have a limited window to secure essential food assistance through the Summer EBT program. The program offers $120 per child to help cover grocery costs when school food programs are not as easy to access. With the application deadline approaching on September 3rd, it's crucial for families to act now. Thousands of families may be unaware that they qualify for this essential benefit. The Oregon Department of Human Services and Oregon Department of Education are urging families to check their eligibility and apply before the deadline. Once benefits are received, you have 122 days to use them. Most eligible children received their benefits automatically on May 22nd if their households participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or are Oregon Health Plan members in households with incomes under 185% of the Federal Poverty Level. Children in foster care also automatically received Summer EBT. However, families who did not receive benefits automatically should still apply to determine their eligibility. Families are encouraged to visit "sebt.oregon.gov" or contact the Summer EBT Call Center at (833)-673-7328 to verify their eligibility and apply. ...Read more
