The Health Science Academy was proud to shine a light on two incredible students for the month of October: Malacci and Jaeline!
These compassionate leaders went above and beyond by dedicating their time and talents to support peers in need. Their selflessness and empathy make them true role models in our community and exemplify the heart of what it means to be a Health Science student.
Join us in celebrating Malacci and Jaeline — your kindness inspires us all! #HSAspotlight #CompassionInAction #FutureHealthLeaders

Due of the federal government shutdown, Kentucky has been told that November 2025 SNAP benefits may be delayed if the shutdown continues. It is not yet known if November benefits will be loaded on your EBT card on time, or at all, as the shutdown continues.
As soon as the federal government reopens or provides funding, the Cabinet will load benefits to EBT cards as soon as possible.
What you need to know:
You will still get your October benefits.
You can keep using any benefits already on your EBT card.
This issue does not affect your eligibility for SNAP.
DCBS offices are open and still taking and processing applications.
This includes benefits from the Simplified Assistance for the Elderly (SAFE) and Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP) programs.
You can find food assistance and other resources at kynect.ky.gov/resources.
For the latest updates, visit chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dcbs, check your kynect.ky.gov account, or watch for official DCBS texts or emails.
Contact Ms. Scott, our YSC, for additional information.
