SNAP to allocate emergency allotments in July
SALEM—Most Orego-
nians who receive Sup-
plemental Nutrition As-
sistance Program (SNAP)
benefits will receive emer-
gency allotments in July.
The federal government
has approved emergency
allotments every month
since March 2020, to give
SNAP recipients addi-
tional support during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
In July, approximately
465,000 SNAP households
will receive approximately
$66.5 million in emergency
allotments in addition to
their regular SNAP bene-
fits.
“We are grateful to have
the opportunity to provide
emergency benefits
to
most SNAP households in
Oregon,” said Dan Haun,
director of the Oregon De-
partment of Human Ser-
vices (ODHS) Self-Suffi-
ciency Program. “We also
know that many Orego-
nians are still struggling to
meet their basic needs due
to the COVID-19 pandem-
ic, and we encourage them
contact our partners at 211
and the Oregon Food Bank
for support during this dif-
ficult time.”
Emergency allotments
will be available on July 13
for current SNAP house-
holds. New SNAP house-
holds will receive the emer-
gency allotments July 30 or
Aug. 3.
If you are a SNAP house-
hold and your income
or the number of people
in your household has
changed, that could impact
your benefits. It is import-
ant to make sure we have
the most up-to-date infor-
mation.
You can report any
changes to your income or
household in many ways:
• Online at: ONE.Ore-
gon.gov
• By mail at: ONE Cus-
tomer Service Center, PO
Box 14015, Salem, OR
97309
• By fax at: 503-378-5628
• By phone at: 1-800-
699-9075 or TTY 711
SNAP recipients do not
have to take any action to
receive these supplemental
benefits as they will be is-
sued directly on their EBT
cards.

emergency allotments is
