November SNAP benefits are here in Oregon! The federal government remains shut down, but ODHS was able to issue full November SNAP benefits with federal approval. We know how important these benefits are, so we worked quickly to begin issuing benefits last night. Everyone should have full November SNAP benefits on their EBT cards this morning, Nov. 7, 2025 - even if you normally receive SNAP later in the month.

Before shopping, check your EBT card balance to make sure their benefits have been issued. There are several ways to check your balance:

- Call ebtEDGE customer service toll-free at 888-997-4447
- Visit https://ebtEDGE.com
- Use the ebtEDGE mobile app

ODHS does not recommend any other EBT management websites or apps.

While the release of SNAP benefits is not a scam – we want everyone to remain aware of potential scammers who could be trying to take advantage of the confusion in this situation. Do not click any suspicious links in emails, texts or social media posts, and only trust ODHS for information about Oregon benefits. You can find tips to protect yourself from electronic theft here: https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/benefits/Pages/protect.aspx

When you hire a doula from our collective, you’re choosing a dedicated support person who will walk beside you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

And you also get something extra: the strength of a full team behind them.

Our doulas work within a diverse, experienced collective where we share knowledge, resources, and ongoing support with one another.

We collaborate, we learn together, and when life happens, we have reliable and compassionate backup already in place.

So you still get that one-on-one, trusted relationship with your doula, with the added peace of mind that a whole community of care is standing with you.

Ready to meet the team? Reach out anytime. We’re here for you.
