Federal government shutdown and SNAP benefits

November SNAP benefits have been loaded onto EBT cards.

The federal government remains shut down, but ODHS was able to issue full November SNAP benefits. People in Oregon who receive SNAP will see 100% of their November benefit amount beginning on November 7, 2025.

Before going to the store, check your EBT card balance to make sure your benefits are available. Use only the official EBT Edge website or the EBT Edge mobile app (Apple or Android). ODHS does not guarantee the safety of any other EBT management websites or apps.

You can still use current benefits

If you already have funds on your EBT card, you can still use these benefits during the shutdown.
SNAP benefits do not expire right away. For this short-term situation, your current balance will stay available while we wait for federal operations to resume.

Double Up Food Bucks

Double Up Food Bucks is a program that lets people using SNAP double the value of their SNAP dollars on fresh fruits and vegetables at participating farmers markets, farm stands, CSAs and grocery stores in Oregon.
While SNAP benefits are paused, you may still use remaining SNAP benefits on your card to qualify for Double Up Food Bucks at eligible locations where the program is operating.
If a market or store is open and participating, your SNAP funds plus the matching Double Up benefit can still be redeemed.
