flag New federal SNAP work rules take effect in Oregon, requiring 37,000 adults to work 80 hours monthly to keep benefits.

flag As of December 1, 2025, new federal work requirements for SNAP benefits are now in effect across all of Oregon, expanding rules previously limited to six counties. flag About 37,000 able-bodied adults without dependents must now work or participate in training for 80 hours per month to receive benefits beyond a three-month limit within three years. flag The change follows the passage of H.R.1 and comes amid rising food insecurity, with food banks reporting increased demand due to inflation, housing costs, and reduced USDA food commodity funding. flag Despite restored SNAP benefits after a November 2025 government shutdown, officials warn that stricter eligibility rules and fraud risks—including EBT skimming—are further straining the system.
