Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will receive emergency allotments this month.

A release from the Oregon Department of Human Services said the emergency benefits are expected to end when the federal public health emergency ends.

In September, approximately 433,000 SNAP households will receive around $69 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits.

ODHS said current SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on September 13th. Emergency allotments will be issued September 30 or October 4 for households who did not receive benefits in the first monthly issuance.

SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to receive these supplemental benefits as they will be issued directly on their EBT cards.
