The State of Nebraska received a $192,635 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Randolph-Sheppard – Financial Relief and Restoration Payments federal grant program (CFDA 84.426). The grant funding will support the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (NCBVI) in providing financial relief and restoration payments to blind vendors in the state that experienced losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during calendar year 2020. The Randolph-Sheppard program aims to provide economic opportunities for blind individuals through the operation of vending facilities and snack bars. This particular award will help offset uncompensated losses faced by Nebraska's blind vendors during a difficult economic period. The grant period runs from May 20, 2021 through September 30, 2022, allowing time to distribute relief funds to eligible vendors impacted by the pandemic.
