Does Oregon have asset limits for SNAP in 2025?
Oregon doesn't count assets for most households applying for SNAP. Your car, savings, or home won't affect your benefits. If you're 60 or older with a disability, special rules apply. This makes it easier for working families to get help.

Do I have to work to get SNAP benefits in Oregon?
If you're 18 to 49 without kids under 18, you'll need to meet work requirements. You must work 80 hours monthly or join a training program. You can only get benefits for three months without meeting these rules. Seniors, people with disabilities, and parents are exempt.
What deductions can I claim for Oregon SNAP benefits?
Oregon allows several deductions to lower your countable income. You'll get a $209 standard deduction for households of 1-3 people. You can also deduct 20% of earned income, child support payments, and shelter costs. The shelter deduction caps at $744 unless someone's elderly or disabled.
