Last year, a new federal law changed who does and does not have to meet work or activity rules to get SNAP food benefits. The rules apply to people who have Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWD) status – which is now defined as anyone who is aged 18 through 64, does not have children or dependents under the age of 14, and is physically and mentally able to work.

We know life is a little more complicated than this definition. There are some exemptions to the rules. You can view the list of exemptions here: https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/snap-time-limits.aspx

If you think you may qualify for one of these exemptions, it’s important that you let us know right away. Call us at 833-947-1694 or email [email protected]. Even if you’re not sure, please reach out to us so we can talk through your situation. We partner with the Oregon Employment Department to offer help so that you can meet the work rules if you need to.

Note – Previously, veterans, people who were in foster care, and people experiencing homelessness were exempt from meeting the work rules. The new federal law made it so that people in these situations are no longer exempt. If this change impacts you, reach out to us by phone or email to talk about how we may be able to help.
