​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​COVID-19 Emergency Allotments

To help during the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government allowed states to provide extra food benefits to eligible SNAP households. These extra benefits are formally known as Emergency Allotments (EA). Because of EA, most Oregon SNAP households have received the maximum monthly benefit allowable for their household size since April 2020. Oregon has to ask permission from the federal government each month to issue EA.​

February update

February is the last month that the federal government will allow Oregon to issue pandemic emergency food benefits.

SNAP households will continue to receive their regular SNAP benefits after February.

March 2023 will be the first month since April 2020 that most people on SNAP in Oregon will only receive their regular SNAP food benefits. Oregonians who receive SNAP are encouraged to prepare for this change in the food benefits they receive.

Tell ODHS if your income has decreased

A decrease in your income may mean you qualify for more SNAP benefits.

Remember that SNAP has changed since April 2020

In addition to the temporary emergency food benefits due to COVID-19, SNAP has experienced other permanent changes that will support people's ability to get enough healthy food for themselves and their families. On October 1, 2021, regular SNAP food benefits were permanently increased by an average of about $36 per person, per month. In January 2022, Oregon increased the income eligibility limit for SNAP up to 200% of the federal poverty level.
