Waitlist Info for Families Already Approved for ERDC
If you are getting ERDC now, the waitlist will not affect you. You will continue to receive benefits as usual.
To keep your ERDC, be sure to renew your benefits on time. You will get a notice when it's time for you to renew. You will skip the waitlist if you reapply for ERDC within two months of your benefits ending.
You can start your renewal 45 days before your eligibility period ends by:
Visiting Benefits.Oregon.gov to manage or renew benefits
Going to or calling a local office
Dialing 1-800-699-9075
After you get approved for ERDC, you can reach out to 211 to get connected with providers in your local area.
