Officials Advise Oregonians Affected by New Federal Work Rules How They Could Regain Their SNAP Benefits
About 6,000 people kept benefits after contacting the agency, while thousands more may regain eligibility by meeting work rules or qualifying for exemptions.
- In late March, 13,898 Oregonians lost their food assistance benefits after federal work rule changes took effect, according to the Oregon Department of Human Services.
- Federal bill HR1, coined by the president as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, significantly expanded work rules, requiring most adults to complete about 80 hours of approved activities monthly.
- ODHS SNAP Director Jessica Amaya Hoffman noted the program helps 757,700 Oregonians, though 6,948 additional people face benefit closures at the end of April.
- Urging immediate action, Hoffman said, "If your SNAP benefits have stopped, contact us right away." Benefits do not restart automatically, but support is available.
- People can contact the ODHS ABAWD team by calling 1-833-947-1694 for assistance with work rules or exemptions, with information available in English and Spanish.
