SNAP Benefits May Be Delayed in November

Because of the on-going shutdown of the Federal government, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits may be delayed starting in November. Oregon's Department of Human Services (ODHS) announced that if the Federal shutdown continues past November 1st, benefits will not go out on time.

If you have a balance on your Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, you will continue to be able to use that balance.

Once the shutdown ends, any benefits that were delayed will be added to your SNAP card.

ODHS encourages SNAP participants to:

Check your EBT card balance regularly
Continue following SNAP rules and reporting requirements
Stay informed by following or subscribing to ODHS communication channels
Sign-up for a ONE Online account or download the Oregon ONE Mobile app at benefits.oregon.gov to get notices about your SNAP case. This is the fastest way to get notifications about your SNAP benefits.
Know where to find emergency food resources in your community.
Visit the ODHS Food Resources website to find local programs and food support.
Visit the Oregon Food Bank Food Finder website.
