Oregon's Department of Human Services employees worked through the night and issued full November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits Friday in the wake of a federal judge's order and following Governor Tina Kotek's directive,

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) has assured residents that their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits remain secure despite recent directives from the Trump administration and a Supreme Court stay.

In comparison to many states, Oregon does a stellar job of connecting people in need with federal money for food, experts say.

Oregon begins disbursing full SNAP benefits to over 750,000 residents following a court order, with Governor Kotek emphasizing the importance of immediate nutrition assistance.

Oregon's nine federally recognized tribes will receive a combined $1 million to combat food instability from delays to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program disbursements, Gov. Tina Kotek said Nov. 6. The funding will come from the Oregon Department of Human Service's Office of Resilience and Emergency Management.

The McGintys, who own the McMinnville Grocery Outlet, tried to offer a 10% discount to all SNAP recipients whose food-assistance money had been frozen. But when the feds told them no, they came up with a go-around: Extending the offer to all customers.
