Nevada families to receive $120 summer grocery aid per eligible child
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — With summer break on the horizon and school cafeterias closing their doors, thousands of Nevada families are set to receive much-needed food assistance.
The Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (S-EBT) program will give each qualifying student $120 to help families buy groceries over the summer months.
'Programs like Summer EBT are essential for reducing childhood hunger,' Kelly Cantrelle, Deputy Administrator at the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services, said. 'Even a small amount of extra grocery support can ease the burden for working families during the summer months.'
DWSS expects as many as 280,000 Nevada children to qualify for benefits automatically this year, based on current enrollment in school meal programs and public assistance. Families who meet federal guidelines do not need to apply, benefits will be distributed automatically.
Households that received Summer EBT in 2024 will get this year's benefits on the same card, as long as their school information has not changed. Families new to the program or those with updated school records should expect a new card to arrive by mail within two to three weeks.
In 2024, the program distributed $37 million in grocery support across Nevada, with nearly 80% of those benefits used, highlighting the need for continued summer food assistance.
The deadline to apply is Aug. 10. For more information or to check eligibility, click here.

A 29-Year-Old Suddenly Became A Millionaire And Turned To The Dave Ramsey Subreddit For Advice: 'What Am I Supposed To Do With This Money'
Some people accumulate wealth over many decades to end up with $1 million, while others get it quicker due to specific circumstances. A 29-year-old Redditor found himself in this position after winning a lawsuit he filed due to a motorcycle accident. He's set to receive $1.3 million, which is a big jump since he had previously saved no more than $15,000. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Peter Thiel turned $1,700 into $5 billion—now accredited investors are eyeing this software company with similar breakout potential. Learn how you can Receiving more money doesn't guarantee long-term wealth. Many lottery winners go broke, but that may not be the case for the Redditor, granted he didn't win the lottery. That's because he reached out to the Dave Ramsey subreddit for advice. "What am I supposed to do with this money?" he asked. These were some of the suggestions Redditors offered. You don't have to make aggressive investments with the fortune to make enough cash. One Redditor suggested a high-yield savings account. It's possible to find accounts that offer 4% APY, and that translates into $52,000 per year. It's good supplemental income that may be enough to cover most of the Redditor's expenses. He was a firefighter before the accident and earned $80,000 to $85,000 per year. He has been receiving disability pay that equals 80% of his salary, and he's set to work again by the end of the summer. Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. His salary as a firefighter seems to be enough since he only has one debt. He just has a $60,000 home loan from the bank and paid for his vehicles with cash. One commenter told the 29-year-old to make any dramatic changes to his lifestyle, and there are a few reasons why this is great advice. While $1.3 million is a great starting point, it's not enough to quit your job and retire. Furthermore, making significant changes to your lifestyle and letting people know about your wealth can attract the wrong type of attention. You might attract 'friends' who want you to spend money on them and then disappear the moment your funds run dry. Life can be easier if the firefighter maintains his lifestyle and continues to work every day. The commenter suggested the 29-year-old can be in a mode that's between easy and standard difficulty instead of "constantly grinding just to pay the rent."One commenter suggested establishing an emergency fund that can cover six to 12 months of living expenses and putting the rest into a brokerage account. The firefighter doesn't have to get fancy with his investments. Some low-cost ETFs that mirror key benchmarks like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite should be sufficient. The commenter then said that the 29-year-old should forget that the account exists and let it grow undisturbed. Regarding the emergency fund, the commenter suggested looking for a high-yield savings account, just like an earlier commenter. This approach gives the 29-year-old enough money to cover emergency expenses while knowing that most of the $1.3 million is growing over time.

These stocks, including Oracle, are among the most overbought on Wall Street
Several stocks could soon be due for pullbacks after seeing sizable gains this week, according to a widely-used technical indicator. Stocks took a hit Friday after Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Iran in the largest attack on the Islamic Republic since the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. Following Israel's attack, which killed at least three of Iran's senior military leaders, Iran launched more than 100 drones toward Israel. The attacks sent investors out of stocks and into safe-haven assets like the U.S. dollar and gold, both of which rallied Friday. The S & P 500 finished Friday's session down more than 1%, making the week-to-date loss 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average also finished in the red for the period, posting a loss of 0.6% and 1.3%, respectively, on the week. Using the stock screener tool , CNBC Pro looked for the most overbought and oversold stocks by measuring their 14-day relative strength index, or RSI. An RSI reading above 70 can indicate that a stock may be overbought and move lower in the near term, while an RSI below 30 might signal that a stock is oversold and see a future move higher. Oracle was the most overbought stock in the S & P 500 this past week, with an RSI around 90.4. Shares of the software maker rose almost 8% on Friday, reaching an all-time high and extending Thursday's 13% rally. Over the course of the entire week, Oracle surged 24%. Analysts surveyed by LSEG have an average price target on the stock of around $205, implying almost 5% downside from Friday's closing level, although many of those targets may rise in the wake of Oracle's latest earnings this week. Most of the week's gains came after Oracle's fiscal fourth quarter results topped Street estimates. CEO Safra Catz said cloud infrastructure revenue is expected to rise more than 70% in fiscal 2026, adding that the fiscal year "will be even better as our revenue growth rates will be dramatically higher." Micron Technology also showed up among the most overbought stocks, with an RSI of 85.1. Shares jumped more than 6% over the past week, its third straight weekly gain, putting its year-to-date gain at more than 37%. The stock was marginally lower on Friday, snapping a nine-day advance. Thursday, Micron announced plans to invest about $200 billion in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing in a move that will create 90,000 direct and indirect jobs. J.M. Smucker was on the week's oversold list, with an RSI around 27. Though most Wall Street analysts rate the peanut butter and jelly maker no more than a hold, according to LSEG ,the consensus price target of $113 implies more than 18% upside from Friday's close. Shares came under pressure in the past week, falling 14%, after fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $2.14 billion missed the $2.18 billion that analysts polled by FactSet had expected, though earnings topped estimates. Smucker's full-year earnings guidance also missed Street expectations. The stock has now fallen in seven out of the past eight weeks. PG & E shares fell 13% this week, its fourth straight weekly decline, and the California utilility now has an RSI of 20.6. The stock has taken a beating this year, tumbling 32% compared to 1.6% rise in the S & P 500.

Tesla EV registrations in the US fall 16% in April
Tesla (TSLA) electric vehicle registrations in the United States fell by 16% in April, acording to the latest data out from S&P Global Mobility. Yahoo Finance senior autos reporter Pras Subramanian dives into the report and weighs in on CEO Elon Musk's criticisms of President Trump's "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill and the delay of Tesla's robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here. Tesla US registrations sliding 16% in April. That's according to data from S&P Global mobility. Joining us now from the Nasdaq Yahoo! Finance senior autos reporter Pras Subramanian. So Pras, um, what is what is this data telling us about sort of, I guess things that Tesla don't seem to be getting much better. Yeah, it's the first indication now we're seeing now US data, right? So registration data from S&P Global mobility showed that 16% drop in April year over year. Uh, this is happening while other competitors like Chevy and BMW see sales gains. So with regards to Tesla, uh, every model except the Model 3 saw sales drop in the US in April. And this is sort of coming on the backdrop of what we saw in Europe, right? We saw a lot of bad data there for sales data in Europe, mostly recently for for April and May there. So we're seeing an echo here in the US, but I want to quickly touch on the fact that, you know, we mentioned Chevy at number two, the very popular Equinox and Blazer EV doing well. BMW also there having some good models. They're seeing some sales gains. And then and Tesla overnight last night, maybe looking to address that the top in the market, updated the Model S and Model X vehicles there. So new updates there potentially to stem the losses and on the top end, but but nonetheless is still a pattern that we're seeing that has been recurring throughout the Western world and also now in the US now with April data. And Pros of course, if people investors in Tesla have been watching other things, namely, what seems to be sort of, you know, warming, if not warming relations, at least not further cooling relations between the president and Elon Musk, and also they're looking ahead to the robo taxi launch, which has been pushed back, yes to June 22nd. So we'll see if it if it gets pushed back more, but there does seem to be some optimism building around some of this stuff. Yeah, you saw Musk backtrack a little bit on those comments he made last week about the the the big beautiful bill talking about how it didn't really cut a lot of the spending, but mostly with the subtext of him being upset about potential loss to EV tax credit. That being said, the robo taxi launch are testing in Austin is happening. Uh we've seen some cars going back and forth to chase vehicles, but the actual official start Musk says won't happen till the 22nd. That was a push back from the 12th that was previously reported. And Musk also said the 22nd date could be pushed back just just because of of safety and precaution looking to be sort of cover all their bases with such a big high profile test happening in that city. But you know, we talked about this before, this is a big news for Tesla, big move. They need to do that to unlock the value, but you know, Waymo's been operating in Austin and also other cities for for some time now. So they have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to that robo taxi business. Yes. We'll see how it plays out. Pras, thank you.
