Following new federal guidance, Virginia households that received VENA in November and partial SNAP benefits Nov. 13 will receive the remaining amount of their SNAP benefits by Tuesday, Nov. 18. Those who did not receive VENA will receive their full SNAP benefit on Saturday, Nov. 15.

December benefits are expected to return to the normal issuance schedule (on the 1st, 4th or 7th day of the month). With the end of the federal shutdown, VDSS does not anticipate any further disruptions to SNAP benefits in 2025, and no additional VENA benefits are expected at this time.

We often say that people can start or have conversations on the go about their health care wishes and concerns — a perfect excuse to do this is a long train or plane ride! 🚆🚂✈️

If you are planning on traveling for the upcoming holidays, consider bringing some of our free guides and resources along with you. If you've got a train buddy, start up a conversation with them! If not, you'll have plenty of reading material to make the ride go by faster.

Thanks to incredible community support, we’re bringing proton therapy—the most advanced form of radiation treatment for certain cancers—to our region. This technology delivers highly precise treatment with less damage to healthy tissue, making a huge difference for patients, especially children and those with tumors near vital organs.

"[Proton therapy] allows us to be able to treat very delicate areas of the brain and lesions that are there without damaging all the structures," said Dr. Brendan Klein, Carilion Clinic pediatric neurosurgeon.

Hear more about how proton therapy works and why it’s a gamechanger in this WSLS interview with Dr. Klein (link in first comment).
