俄勒冈州连夜发放11月全额食品援助：逾75万居民周五起可全额使用俄勒冈小径卡
美国俄勒冈州公众服务厅（ODHS）通报，在联邦法院命令联邦政府全额拨付食品援助（SNAP）资金后，该厅已连夜处理，将11月全额福利发放至居民的俄勒冈小径卡（Oregon Trail Card），逾75万名俄勒冈居民自周五上午起即可按全额使用。
此前，由于联邦层面的拨付争议，11月福利一度面临减额或延迟。公众服务厅表示，法院命令一下达，厅里就连夜完成系统处理，确保居民在周五早上买菜时卡里是全额。
州长蒂娜·科特克此前已宣布全州进入饥饿紧急状态，并拨款500万美元支持俄勒冈食物银行网络、另拨100万美元予州内部落政府，以在联邦资金未定期间维持食物分发。
公众服务厅提醒居民，福利已按正常计划入账，无需重新申请；对金额有疑问的居民可通过该厅网站或各地办公室查询。州政府称将继续关注后续月份的联邦拨付情况，如有变化将提前通知。（来源：俄勒冈州公众服务厅）
Oregon Issues Full November Food Benefits Overnight: More Than 750,000 Residents Can Access Full Amounts on Oregon Trail Cards from Friday
The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) announced that after a federal court ordered the federal government to fully fund food assistance (SNAP), the department processed payments overnight and loaded full November benefits onto residents' Oregon Trail Cards, with more than 750,000 Oregonians able to access the full amounts from Friday morning.
November benefits had faced reduction or delay amid the federal funding dispute. ODHS said that as soon as the court order came down, its teams worked through the night on system processing so that residents would find full balances when shopping Friday morning.
Governor Tina Kotek had earlier declared a statewide hunger emergency, committing $5 million to the Oregon Food Bank Network and another $1 million to tribal governments to sustain food distribution while federal funding was in doubt.
The department reminded residents that benefits were posted on the normal schedule and no re-application is needed; questions about amounts can be checked through the ODHS website or local offices. The state said it will keep monitoring federal funding for subsequent months and will notify residents in advance of any change. (Source: Oregon Department of Human Services)
