Get reimbursed for Lost Food!

SNAP recipients can request replacement funding for food lost during winter storms. 

Oregonians enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, can request replacement benefits from the Oregon Department of Human Services for food lost during the winter storms. If you lost food during the storms due to power outages, you must submit a request for replacement funds within 10 days from when food was lost. 

To apply for SNAP replacement benefits, visit your local ODHS office or call 800-699-9075. You may also email this SNAP Replacement Form to Oregon.Benefits@odhsoha.oregon.gov or mail it to ONE Customer Service Center, PO Box 14015, Salem, OR 97309. 

You may be asked to provide: 

  •       Proof of address
  •       Messages from a utility company or other evidence you were affected by the storm 
  •       A report of the lost food and cost (you do not have to submit receipts)
