Oregon SNAP / Food Benefits
Last updated: June 15, 2026
Oregons Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps eligible low-income households buy food each month. Benefits are provided on an Oregon Trail Card (EBT) and the amount you receive varies based on household size, income, and certain expenses.
Who is eligible
Eligibility depends on household size, income, and resources. Many working families, seniors, and people with disabilities qualify. The Oregon Department of Human Services reviews income limits and deductions when you apply, so submitting an application is the best way to find out.
What you can get
SNAP benefit amounts vary by household and are reviewed against federal limits each year. Benefits can be used to buy most groceries, including produce, meat, dairy, and bread, but not hot prepared foods, alcohol, or non-food items.
How to apply
You can apply online through the ONE eligibility system, by phone, by mail, or in person at a local Oregon Department of Human Services office. After applying you may complete an interview and provide documents verifying income and household details.
