WASHINGTON \u2013 Los senadores estadounidenses de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley y Ron Wyden, anunciaron el martes que m\u00e1s de 350.000 ni\u00f1os en Oreg\u00f3n recibir\u00e1n asistencia alimentaria cr\u00edtica a trav\u00e9s del programa de Transferencia Electr\u00f3nica de Beneficios por Pandemia para ayudar a llenar la brecha de comidas creada por el cierre de escuelas, seg\u00fan un comunicado de prensa conjunto de los senadores.<\/p>\n
Incluso antes de que estallara la crisis del coronavirus, m\u00e1s de medio mill\u00f3n de personas, incluido uno de cada cinco ni\u00f1os en Oreg\u00f3n, luchaban contra la inseguridad alimentaria, seg\u00fan el comunicado.<\/p>\n
"Todos los ni\u00f1os en Oreg\u00f3n, independientemente del color de su piel, la ciudad en la que viven o d\u00f3nde trabajan sus padres, merecen irse a la cama con el est\u00f3mago lleno", dijo Merkley en el comunicado de prensa. \u201cDesafortunadamente, tenemos m\u00e1s trabajo por delante para estar a la altura de ese principio. Estoy agradecido de que esta financiaci\u00f3n nos ayudar\u00e1 a acercarnos un paso m\u00e1s y seguir\u00e9 luchando por la financiaci\u00f3n y los recursos que necesitamos para acabar con el hambre en Oreg\u00f3n de una vez por todas\u201d.<\/p>\n
El Servicio de Alimentos y Nutrici\u00f3n del USDA autoriz\u00f3 al Departamento de Servicios Humanos a proporcionar beneficios de reemplazo de comidas escolares pand\u00e9micas P-EBT de Oregon a m\u00e1s de 351,000 estudiantes que reciben comidas escolares gratuitas o a precio reducido en Oregon, incluidos casi 147,000 estudiantes que ya reciben asistencia nutricional. Los hogares recibir\u00e1n beneficios equivalentes a un almuerzo y un desayuno gratis por cada ni\u00f1o elegible: $5.70 por d\u00eda escolar normal durante los meses de marzo, abril, mayo y junio.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
"Juntos, el DHS y el ODE est\u00e1n trabajando para garantizar que ning\u00fan ni\u00f1o en Oreg\u00f3n pase hambre durante la pandemia de COVID-19", dijo Dan Haun, director de programas de autosuficiencia del DHS. "Este recurso es el resultado de nuestra s\u00f3lida colaboraci\u00f3n y brindar\u00e1 apoyo adicional para la nutrici\u00f3n infantil y ampliar\u00e1 las opciones de las familias en materia de alimentos saludables".<\/p>\n
A los hogares elegibles para el Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria se les depositar\u00e1n autom\u00e1ticamente los beneficios de marzo, abril y mayo en sus cuentas de Transferencia Electr\u00f3nica de Beneficios existentes a fines de mayo. Los estudiantes que reciben comidas escolares gratuitas o a precio reducido, pero no reciben beneficios de SNAP, recibir\u00e1n autom\u00e1ticamente una tarjeta Oregon Trail por correo.<\/p>\n
La Ley de Respuesta al Coronavirus Familias Primero cre\u00f3 el programa P-EBT para brindar asistencia nutricional a las familias cuyas escuelas cerraron en respuesta al COVID-19. P-EBT proporciona a los hogares una tarjeta EBT con el valor de las tasas de reembolso del desayuno y almuerzo escolares gratuitos durante los d\u00edas en que las escuelas est\u00e1n cerradas. Las escuelas deben cerrar durante al menos cinco d\u00edas consecutivos para que las familias reciban una tarjeta P-EBT. Oreg\u00f3n present\u00f3 un plan estatal para operar P-EBT, que fue aprobado por el Departamento de Agricultura de EE. UU.<\/p>\n
\u201cLa lucha durante todo el a\u00f1o contra el hambre para los j\u00f3venes de Oreg\u00f3n se volvi\u00f3 a\u00fan m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil cuando el COVID-19 exigi\u00f3 el cierre de las escuelas para proteger la salud p\u00fablica\u201d, dijo Wyden en el comunicado de prensa. "Me complace que estos fondos federales ayuden a alimentar a los estudiantes de todo nuestro estado durante esta crisis, y seguir\u00e9 luchando para brindar seguridad alimentaria a los habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n de todas las edades".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
