​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​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.
