Oregon to Provide Meal Funds to Families
October 4, 2020
Oregon's education and human services departments recently announced direct payments to help compensate families for the cost of meals students would have received at school during coronavirus-related closures. More than 300,000 students are eligible for the Pandemic EBT -- or electronic benefits transfer -- payments of $100 or more, which are part of the state's plan to transition students back to school, said Dan Haun of the state's department of human services.
