(Salem, OR) -- Oregon SNAP recipients are starting to feel the effects of new work requirements passed by the Trump administration last year. The Oregon Department of Human Services says nearly 14-thousand people lost benefits for April because they didn't meet the requirements. Nearly seven-thousand more people are at risk of losing benefits at the end of the month. The new requirements force most SNAP recipients to work or volunteer at least 80 hours per month or be actively enrolled in education or career courses. Oregonians are encouraged to ask ODHS for help if they have questions about the rules or if they need help reinstating their eligibility. In some cases, exemptions are available.
