Almost 3,500 families in ‘Reach Up’ program getting $375

By The Associated Press - | Nov 30, 2021

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Almost 3,500 Vermont families enrolled in the Reach Up family assistance program will be getting an extra payment of $375, the Vermont Department for Children and Families said Monday.

The one-time payment is in addition to monthly cash grants families receive and is to help pay for increased costs related to the pandemic.

Households with Reach Up grants between Sept. 1 and Oct. 15 are eligible.

The Vermont State Treasurer’s Office began issuing the checks last week. All eligible families should receive them before the end of November.

The Reach Up program provides cash grants and employment, training, education, and coaching services to families who are experiencing poverty and have minor, dependent children.
