Oregon adds $11/month to the federal SSI payment for an eligible individual, bringing the combined total to roughly $978/month before countable income is deducted. It's one of the smaller supplements on this list, and it applies at the same flat rate whether you live in the Portland metro area or a rural county elsewhere in the state.
How the Combined Total Works
The federal SSI baseline for 2026 is $967/month for an individual. Oregon's $11 supplement is added on top statewide. Portland has seen some of the steepest housing cost increases on the West Coast over the past decade, which makes the gap between the combined SSI total and actual local rent especially pronounced for recipients in that metro area.
💡 SSDI is unaffected by state of residence — it's calculated purely from your earnings record. Only SSI carries Oregon's state supplement.
A Modest Supplement Against Rising Portland-Area Costs
Oregon's neighbor to the north, Washington, offers a similarly small supplement despite Seattle facing comparable cost pressures — suggesting the Pacific Northwest generally hasn't kept its SSI supplements in step with regional housing cost growth. Rural and southern Oregon counties, by contrast, see the combined total go noticeably further.
