IMPORTANT: 3SQUARESVT REPLACEMENT BENEFITS DUE TO POWER OUTAGE #vted

IMPORTANT: 3SQUARESVT REPLACEMENT BENEFITS DUE TO POWER OUTAGE 

With the recent winter storm leaving many Vermonters without power for various amounts of time, it is important to remember that 3SquaresVT households may be eligible for replacement benefits if food they bought with their benefits spoils due to loss of electricity for four hours or more.  

If you hear from Vermonters in this situation, please let them know they must request replacement benefits within 10 days of the loss, either orally (by calling 1-800-479-6151 or visiting the local district office) or in writing to the local district office.

More information about replacement benefits can be found here:http://vermontfoodhelp.com/replacement-benefits .  Please contact me at asmith-dieng@hungerfreevt.org with any additional questions you may have.
