Oregon SNAP Replacement: Steps for Requesting Benefits Due to Weather Damage in 2024

If you live in Oregon and were affected by severe weather last month, you may be eligible for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) replacements. The USDA allows states to issue replacements for food lost during natural disasters, including storms, floods, fires, and power outages.

Many Oregonians have lost food purchased with their Food Stamps due to recent weather conditions, and if you are one of them, you can apply for a replacement.
