Hi All!

Sharing quick notes from today’s SNAP update call so you can pass along to partners and community members:

Key timeline updates

  *   SNAP benefits: Will continue through October. November benefits will not be funded unless the federal shutdown ends by October 31 at 11:59 PM.
  *   WIC: Funded through November.
  *   School Meals: Unaffected and will continue as normal.
  *   Post-Oct 31: ODHS will share new SNAP rules after Oct. 31 (see links below for updates).
  *   HDS operations: HDS will continue operating as normal even if funding is paused.

Policy & eligibility notes

  *   HR-1 changes: New federal rules will cause whole communities of refugees and immigrants to lose benefits.
  *   Time-limits/work requirements: Individuals 63 and younger may receive 3 months of SNAP before work requirements apply (see ODHS link below for details).
  *   Children: No changes to SNAP benefits for children. Mixed-status households should continue to apply/participate.

What to do now

  *   Keep reporting: All current funds in individual EBT/SNAP accounts remain available; EBT cards will keep working. Continue fulfilling reporting requirements during the shutdown to minimize disruption.
  *   If a resolution passes in November: Full November benefits will be issued, even if the resolution passes mid-month.
