West Virginia families with eligible children under the age of 6 will be receiving funding from the federal government for groceries. Children are eligible if they live in a household that receives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. The state Department of Health and Human Resources said those children must also live in a county where one or more schools have been closed or operated at reduced attendance due to COVID-19. Families will receive $22.44 per child. Officials estimate around 40,000 West Virginia children will be eligible. The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
