Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits will receive emergency allotments in November. The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. In November, approximately 398,400 SNAP households will receive approximately $63 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits. Emergency allotments will be available on Nov. 11 for current SNAP households. New SNAP households will receive the emergency allotments Nov. 30 or Dec. 2. SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to receive these supplemental benefits as they will be issued directly on their EBT cards.
