Katherine Bode has been handling calls the entire week from overreacted Clatsop Junior college understudies who will see how much help they get to pay for food drop sharply when public advantages return to pre-pandemic levels in Spring.
One nursing understudy who is offsetting school with a task and raising her family told Bode she anticipates that her advantages should drop from $900 per month to $400 when Coronavirus crisis distributions for the Supplemental Sustenance Help Program end. She told Bode she will probably need to stop school and work all day to help her loved ones.
