4Minutes For the Fed: Oregonians Now Have Full Access to SNAP Benefits

Four Minutes for the Fed: Nov. 7, 2025

Governor Tina Kotek announced that all Oregonians receiving SNAP benefits now have access to their full November allotments following a federal court order requiring the Trump Administration to release 100% of national SNAP funding.

When the court issued its ruling yesterday afternoon, Governor Kotek immediately directed the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to act. Teams across the agency worked through the night with Oregon’s electronic benefits transfer (EBT) vendor to ensure full benefits were available by Friday morning.

More than 750,000 Oregonians are now seeing their complete November food benefits restored on their Oregon Trail Cards—regardless of their usual payment schedule.

Because of the emergency preparations Governor Kotek ordered earlier in the month, ODHS was able to respond within hours, making Oregon one of the first states in the nation to process and release funds immediately after the judge’s ruling.
