COVID-19 Emergency Allotments
To help during COVID-19, most Oregon SNAP households now receive the maximum monthly benefit allowable for their household size. The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020.
September update
- Because the federal government approved these emergency benefits for August, Oregon will also be able to issue them in September.
- Information on when SNAP households will receive September emergency allotments is not yet available.
August update
- Current SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on Aug. 11.
- New SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on Aug. 31 or Sep. 2.
July update
- Current SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on July 12.
- New SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on July 29 or Aug 2.
You don't have to do anything to get these extra benefits.
They are issued directly onto your EBT card. The total benefit amount depends on your household's regular monthly benefit.
