If you live in Oregon and were affected by recent severe weather, you may be eligible to request a replacement for lost food purchased with your Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) allows states to issue SNAP replacements when a natural disaster occurs, and Oregon is offering this assistance to those impacted by last month’s extreme weather.
How to Request SNAP Replacements in Oregon
If you have lost food due to a natural disaster like a flood, storm, fire, or power outage, there are three simple ways to request a replacement for your food stamps:
- Visit a local office
- Call the Oregon Department of Human Services at 800-699-9075
- Fill out an online form and email it to oregon.benefits@odhsoha.oregon.gov. You can find the form here.
To locate a nearby office, visit the Oregon Department of Human Services office finder.
What is the Deadline for SNAP Replacement Requests in Oregon?
Generally, you must request a replacement within ten days of losing the food you bought with SNAP benefits. However, residents in certain counties have been granted extra time to submit their replacement requests.
