SNAP food benefit work rules now apply statewide, about 37,000 people immediately impacted

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) says work requirements for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are now being enforced in every county in Oregon. The policy changes at the USDA follow the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill (H.R.1). ODHS said about 37,000 Oregonians are immediately affected. The statewide rules took effect on Dec. 1, 2025, expanding the work requirements from six counties. According to ODHS, the SNAP work requirements have been in effect in Benton, Clackamas, Hood River, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill counties since Oct. 1, 2025. Those counties had lower unemployment and stronger labor markets than other counties. This disqualified those counties from receiving a work requirement waiver, which is why these requirements have been in place in those areas for over two months.
