1168 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Example 2: Natalie calls her worker stating that her daughter Janine moved in with her. Natalie is not sure of Janine’s SS number and the worker is unable to locate the SS number through IEVS. The worker explains that she would need to provide the SS number to clear eligibility for Janine. Natalie does not turn in a 415F to establish a filing date. Benefits would not begin until the day eligibility is cleared for Natalie. ERDC Example 1: Petri started his new job on March 27. He will only work two days. His cost of child care for March is $28; however; his copay is $98. In this situation, it makes sense to start ERDC effective April 1. Explain to Petri why benefits are starting the first of April and narrate the conversation. Benefits for March do not need to be denied, the parent was eligible, but there is nothing for ODHS to pay on behalf of the parent to the provider. Example 2: Macy calls the office on 4/10 because she has received a notice that her TANF case is closing 4/30.Tthe worker asks her if she is interested in applying for ERDC and Marcy says yes. This establishes a date of request. After interviewing Macy, the worker approves Marcy for a 12-month Categorical ERDC certification with a $0 co-pay. REF Example 1: Mia requests REF by phone on 7/1; A 415F is sent to her; she turns in the 415F with her name, address and signature section complete on 7/6. Mia’s filing date is 7/6. If deemed eligible, cash benefits would begin on 7/6. MSP QMB Example 1: An individual tells us in March they will start receiving Medicare in April. They would not be eligible for QMB until May 1. This is because they don’t meet QMB criteria until they begin receiving Medicare. They receive it in April, so they start QMB the month after (May). SMB/SMF Example 1: An individual has a date of request through ODHS|OHA of January 25. ODHS|OHA receives all verification and determines the individual is eligible on February 10. The individual’s eligibility starts on February 1. Example 2: An individual applies for LIS through SSA on January 25. The LIS application information is received by ODHS|OHA on March 25. ODHS|OHA receives all verification and determines the individual is eligible on May 2. The individual’s eligibility starts January 1. OSIPM Example 1: An individual applies for and establishes a DOR for OSIPM on 12/10. It is determined that the individual meets all eligibility requirements on the DOR. OSIPM eligibility begins on 12/1.
