Description of Program and Relief

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Oregon’s SNAP program provides assistance for individuals and families to afford food at supermarkets, grocery stores, and farmers markets. While no specific guidance has been provided for those affected by COVID-19, individuals and families adversely impacted by COVID-19 should be eligible if they meet general eligibility requirements. An expedited application process is currently in effect for those affected by COVID-19, and the work reporting requirement is temporarily waived.

Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions

To receive SNAP benefits, household income and other resources have to be under certain monthly limits, members must be U.S. citizens or legal aliens, and members must furnish or apply for a social security number. Able-bodied household members between the ages of 16-59 must register for work, and may be required to participate in a SNAP Employment and Training Program unless a specified exemption is met. During the COVID-19 declared state of emergency, work requirements do not need to be met in order to continue receiving SNAP.
