Do you get 3SquaresVT food benefits?
Because federal funds are delayed, the State of Vermont is covering the first half of your monthly 3SquaresVT benefit. The state will get the funds on your EBT Card by November 7.
For example, if you normally get $200 for the month, you will get $100 for the first 15 days of November. On November 13, if federal funding is still delayed, the state will decide about issuing the other $100 for the rest of November.
If you still have money on your EBT Card from last month, you can still use it.
Hunger Free VT is sharing regular updates on its website.
DCF is still accepting 3SquaresVT applications and other paperwork. You should still apply if you need help with food expenses.
