In response to the ongoing federal government shutdown and the resulting delay in federal 3SquaresVT (SNAP) benefits, the State of Vermont has approved a temporary, state-funded benefit to cover the first 15 days of November for all eligible 3SquaresVT households. These benefits are expected to be issued on or around November 7, 2025. October and prior balances on EBT cards remain available for use at authorized retailers.

For account balances, clients can visit

Last month, we took a look into the programs and resources of the Vermont Department of Health (VDH), starting with those that focus on Health and the Environment. For this April newsletter, we explore some programs that are for children and families. VDH has a wide range of services and information about this broad category of public health. From prenatal care to safe sleep care, the Vermont Department of Health offers helpful information and tools to guide parents and caregivers dealing with preventive care and health concerns.


Vermont 211 includes several of these important programs in its database, listed with the keywords below to search our Community Resource Directory online (https://navigateresources.net/211vermont/)
