If you receive SNAP benefits in Oregon, your EBT card loads on a set date every month based on the last digit of the primary cardholder's Social Security Number. Oregon distributes benefits earlier in the month than most states, loading everyone's card between the 1st and the 9th. Your deposit date stays the same every month, whether it falls on a weekend or a holiday. This guide shows exactly when to expect your deposit, how to check your balance, and what to do if your benefits do not show up on time.
Oregon EBT Deposit Schedule by SSN Last Digit
Oregon's SNAP deposit schedule runs on the shortest window of any state's staggered system. Instead of spreading deposits across three weeks, Oregon compresses the whole cycle into the first nine days of the month. The last digit of the primary cardholder's Social Security Number determines which day benefits load.
| Last Digit of SSN | EBT Deposit Date |
|---|
| 0 or 1 | 1st of the month |
| 2 | 2nd of the month |
| 3 | 3rd of the month |
| 4 | 4th of the month |
| 5 | 5th of the month |
| 6 | 6th of the month |
| 7 | 7th of the month |
| 8 | 8th of the month |
| 9 | 9th of the month |
If a household member applying for benefits does not have a Social Security Number, such as a parent applying on behalf of a citizen child, benefits are deposited on the 1st of the month.
Your deposit date does not change from month to month. If the date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday, Oregon does not shift the deposit earlier or later. Benefits post on the scheduled calendar date regardless of the day of the week.

What Time Do Oregon EBT Benefits Load?
The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) does not publish an exact hour for benefit deposits. Most recipients see their balance updated overnight, so funds are typically available first thing in the morning on the scheduled date. If your balance has not updated by midday on your deposit date, check your balance using one of the methods below before contacting customer service, since posting times can vary slightly by bank processing.
How to Check Your Oregon EBT Balance
You have several ways to check your balance at any time:
Phone: Call the toll-free EBT Customer Service line at 1-888-997-4447. This line operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you can check your balance, hear recent transactions, or report a lost or stolen card. Have your 16-digit EBT card number ready.
Online: Visit ebtedge.com and log in with your card number and PIN to view your current balance and transaction history.
Mobile App: Download the ebtEDGE mobile app from the App Store or Google Play to check your balance, review transactions, and set up low-balance alerts.
Store Receipt: Every EBT purchase generates a receipt showing your remaining SNAP balance at the bottom, so your last grocery receipt is a quick way to confirm your balance without calling anyone.
ONE Customer Service Center: For questions about your case, eligibility, or benefit amount (not your card balance), call 1-800-699-9075, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific Time.
What to Do if Your Oregon SNAP Benefits Are Late or Missing
If your deposit date has passed and your balance has not changed, work through these steps in order:
- Check your balance through two different methods, such as the phone line and the ebtEDGE app, to rule out a simple display glitch.
- Wait until the end of your deposit day. Occasionally deposits post later than expected due to processing delays.
- Call the EBT Customer Service line at 1-888-997-4447 to confirm your card is active and to hear your most recent transaction history.
- If your case has had any recent changes, such as an address update, a new household member, or an income change you reported, call the ONE Customer Service Center at 1-800-699-9075 to confirm your case is still active and your benefit amount has not been affected.
- If you believe your card was skimmed or your benefits were stolen, report it immediately so ODHS can lock your card and issue a replacement.
Oregon EBT Card Replacement
If your EBT card is lost, stolen, or damaged, call 1-855-328-6715 during business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, to request a replacement. You can also request a replacement through the ebtEDGE app or website. Your existing balance transfers to the new card, so you do not lose benefits by requesting a replacement.
Oregon SNAP Income Limits for 2026
Not sure if you qualify for SNAP in Oregon? The state uses Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility, which sets the gross income limit at 200% of the Federal Poverty Level rather than the standard federal limit of 130% FPL. Most Oregon households also have no asset limit under this policy.
Gross Income Limits (200% FPL) for FY2026
| Household Size | Monthly Gross Income Limit |
|---|
| 1 | $2,608 |
| 2 | $3,526 |
| 3 | $4,442 |
| 4 | $5,358 |
| 5 | $6,276 |
| 6 | $7,192 |
| 7 | $8,108 |
| Each additional person | +$918 |
Net Income Limits (100% FPL) for FY2026
Households with a member who is age 60 or older, or who has a disability, may be exempt from the gross income test but must still meet the net income test below. After allowable deductions, your household's net income must fall at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level.
| Household Size | Monthly Net Income Limit |
|---|
| 1 | $1,304 |
| 2 | $1,763 |
| 3 | $2,221 |
| 4 | $2,679 |
| 5 | $3,138 |
| 6 | $3,596 |
| 7 | $4,054 |
| Each additional person | +$458 |
These limits apply October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The minimum monthly SNAP benefit for eligible one and two person households is $24.
Recent Changes to Oregon SNAP in 2025 and 2026
Two federal policy changes affect Oregon SNAP participants. Expanded work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents took effect in late 2025, changing how many months of benefits some adults can receive without meeting a work, training, or volunteer requirement. New eligibility restrictions for certain non-citizen categories also took effect in early 2026. If either change may affect your household, contact the ONE Customer Service Center at 1-800-699-9075 to understand your current status.
How to Apply for SNAP in Oregon
If you are not currently receiving benefits but want to apply, here are the steps:
- Apply online through the ONE Eligibility system at benefits.oregon.gov. You can create an account, complete your application, and upload documents any time of day.
- Apply in person at your local ODHS branch office. Use the office locator on oregon.gov/odhs to find the office nearest you.
- Apply by phone by calling the ONE Customer Service Center at 1-800-699-9075 to complete your application with a caseworker over the phone.
- Submit your application by mail or fax if you are unable to apply online, in person, or by phone.
- Complete an interview. After you submit your application, ODHS will schedule a phone or in-person interview to review your household details.
- Provide verification documents. You will need proof of identity, Oregon residency, income, and Social Security Numbers for household members applying for benefits.
- Wait for a decision. ODHS must process your application within 30 days. If you are approved, your benefits typically load to your EBT card within a few days of approval, and your first month's deposit date will follow the schedule above.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, a free eligibility screening can walk you through SNAP, Medicaid, and other assistance programs available to Oregon households in a few minutes. Learn more about assistance programs for Oregon residents on our Oregon resource page.
Protecting Your Oregon EBT Benefits from Skimming
EBT card skimming has increased at grocery stores and ATMs across Oregon, similar to other states. Criminals attach small devices to card readers to steal card numbers and PINs, then drain accounts shortly after benefits deposit. To protect yourself:
- Inspect the card reader for anything loose, taped on, or out of place before inserting your card.
- Cover the keypad with your hand when entering your PIN.
- Change your PIN periodically through the ebtEDGE app or by calling 1-888-997-4447.
- Review your transaction history regularly and report any purchases you did not make right away.
If you believe your card has been skimmed, call EBT Customer Service immediately at 1-888-997-4447 to freeze your card and request a replacement.
