# Oregon DHS Conducts Income Verification

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is actively conducting income verification for approximately 11,000 recipients of SNAP and TANF benefits, requiring these individuals to update their income information by September 28, 2026, to maintain eligibility. This initiative aims to improve accuracy in benefit distribution and reduce payment errors. ODHS plans to continue similar verification efforts over the next 12 to 15 months, indicating ongoing demand for services related to eligibility verification and data management.
