THE OTHER NEWS After November, this may be a stopgap and contingency plans should still be made. Multnomah County will support legal efforts to keep benefits coming after November. multco.us/food
☝️ But this may be a stopgap. The federal admin is appealing, and we could be back in crisis, pending unfavorable court rulings or if federal contingency funds run out before the shutdown ends.
⚖️Multnomah County will support legal efforts to keep benefits coming after Nov.
THE GOOD NEWS Oregonians now have access to full November SNAP benefits Check your EBT card balance before you shop. November benefits won't be taken away. multco.us/food
🥕FULL restoration of SNAP benefits is good news for nearly 760K Oregonians, including 143K in Multnomah County alone. Full Nov. benefits are here, and they won’t be taken away.
🛒 Check your EBT balance before shopping. If you think there’s an error, contact the Oregon Dept. of Human Services.
