OHA release - We want to let you know that if the federal government shutdown continues into November, people who get SNAP food benefits in Oregon may not get their November food benefits on time. This could affect about 757,000 people, including children, older adults and working families.  We understand this news may feel stressful. Food benefits are important and delays are hard. The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is working to keep people informed and will share updates as soon as more is known.  ODHS will post updates on its website (in English and Spanish), on its official social media, and through partner organizations and the media.
