Oregon Trail Card (EBT card)
An Oregon Trail Card is an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card and is similar to a debit card from a bank. It is what the Department of Human Services (DHS) uses to get benefits to clients.
When individuals or families qualify for food or cash benefits, Oregon Trail accounts are set up for them. Benefits are deposited into the accounts each month. The Oregon Trail Card, along with a private, Personal Identification Number (PIN), is used to access benefits.
Oregon Trail Cards are used mostly for food benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). They also are used for cash benefits through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Oregon Trail Card Website:
