Community Resources to help meet basic needs

 

About SNAP

Administered by ODHS, SNAP is a federal program that provides food assistance to approximately 1 million eligible, low-income families and individuals in Oregon, including many older adults and people with disabilities. Oregonians in need can apply for benefits, including SNAP, child care, cash assistance and Medicaid. Learn more at https://govstatus.egov.com/or-dhs-benefits. For local resources in your area, such as food or shelter, please call 2-1-1 or reach out to the state’s Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) at 1-855-ORE-ADRC or 1-855-673-2372.

P-EBT Update #2 (Spring 2023)
Incorrectly issued benefits
 

Some students mistakenly received P-EBT benefits. We estimate this issue does not impact any students across your schools.

Earlier this week, we learned that some students who were ineligible for P-EBT benefits for Summer 2022 had received Eligibility Notices and/or EBT cards. We looked into this issue and found it was caused by a 2021 error that designated certain schools in Oregon as Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools. As a result of this designation, some students mistakenly received benefits in 2021. This data also caused some P-EBT cards and food benefits to be incorrectly issued as part of the Summer 2022 P-EBT program (about 1% of the total). 

ODHS and ODE are currently working to resolve this issue and notify impacted families. No one who received P-EBT benefits in error will be penalized.

We are here to support you and the students in your schools. If you have any questions, please reply to this email. If families have questions about this issue, they can contact our call center at 1-844-ORE-PEBT, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm PST.

Free or Low-Cost Internet Services Available to All Households with Kids at Schools Participating in the Community Eligibility Provision

In the 21st century, high-speed internet is a necessity – especially for students. That’s why the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to lower internet costs. The ACP provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month off their internet bills (or up to $75 per month for households living on Tribal lands), as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 off an eligible connected device like a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet. In many cases, households can get high-speed internet without paying a dime by choosing a fully covered internet plan. On August 8, 2022, the Food and Nutrition Service published a PartnerWeb announcement to promote participation in the ACP. This letter is a reminder that a household is eligible to participate in the ACP if a child in the household receives free or reduced-price school meals. Therefore, every household with a child attending a school participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program is eligible for ACP benefits. Households can learn more and apply for the ACP at GetInternet.gov.
