They have already received benefits in another state in May. They are ineligible on the filing date. The effective date is June 1, if they have closed their other SNAP case. Example 2: Darren provides verification within 30 to 60 days after his filing date and the office did not give him extra time to do this. The new filing date and the effective date is the date he provided the verification, as long as he met all eligibility requirements on that date. Example 3: The effective date is the first of the month for applications with families including migrant or seasonal farm workers who received SNAP benefits in another state the month before applying for SNAP benefits in Oregon. TANF Example 1: On 4/2 Abby calls her worker and states that her husband Jerald moved back in. The worker explains that though Jerald had been on the case only a few months ago, that eligibility needs to be reviewed. The worker also explains that if she establishes a filing date with a new 415F then once eligibility is cleared, benefits would go back to the filing date. Abby turns in a completed 415F on 4/3. Eligibility is cleared on 4/10. Benefits would begin on the filing date of 4/3.
