Government shutdown could leave 750,000 Oregonians without SNAP benefits for food
(KATU)
More than half of the 750,000 Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are seniors, children and people with disabilities. All face the risk of losing the monthly support due to the extended shutdown of the federal government.
According to a report by OPB, the Oregon Department of Human Services last week began notifying more than 750,000 people currently receiving benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP — informally known as food stamps — they will not get new benefits after Oct. 31.
Joining the Exchange to offer more insight is Alejandro Figueroa a reporter for Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) who co-authored the report.
