More ‘snap’ Benefits on the Way

The Oregon Department of Human Services says just about everyone here in Oregon who receives Supplemental Nutritional Program… or “SNAP” benefits… will also receive emergency allotments in May. They said yesterday, that an estimated $66 million in SNAP benefits will go to about 406,000 households in May. Those who receive SNAP benefits can expect the allotment on May 11th. For households that do not receive the first monthly issuance, the allotments will be issued May 28 or June 2.
