(Salem, OR) -- Oregon children who get free or reduced price meals at school will now get cash benefits, since they're not getting those meals at school. If a student's family is already on SNAP and they have an Oregon Trail card the money will be added to the card. If they don't already get SNAP benefits they'll receive a card in the mail. They'll get the benefits for March, April and May deposited into the account at the end of May. Benefits will be retroactive.
