1209 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples SNAP Example 1: Malaki, his wife Jemma and their 20-year-old son Curtis are applying for SNAP together. They have income below 200 percent of FPL. They do not have liquid resources exceeding the lottery/gambling winnings limit. They receive the TANF information and referral pamphlet Resource Guide for Low-Income Households (ODHS 3400). This family is categorically eligible under BBCE. Example 2: Ben is getting SSI and is the only member of the SNAP filing group. The case is categorically eligible under CE. Example 3: Dani is receiving SSI. Her two children are receiving TANF. They are categorically eligible under CE. Example 4: Misha and her three children are receiving ERDC. They are categorically eligible under ECE. Example 5: Julie 20 years old and her spouse, James, are receiving TANF. They live with the participant’s mother Betty. Betty age 55, is not receiving any program benefits and is disabled. Julie is under the age of 22 and therefore, the three of them form one filing group and cannot be separate filing groups. The combined household income exceeds 200 percent of FPL. Although Julie and James are categorically eligible base on CE due to receiving TANF, the SNAP filing group is not categorically eligible. ONE will determine if the filing group meets the income (130% and 100%) and resource limits (see OAR 461-160-0015). They will be denied as over the income limit (130%). Example 6: Dorthea is a 62 –year old grandmother receiving TANF for her two grandchildren. Dorthea is not receiving any program benefits for herself. The total income, which includes the TANF grant, exceeds 200 percent of FPL. The case is not categorically eligible for SNAP. ONE will determine if the filing group meets the income limit (100% FPL) and resource limit (see OAR 461-160-0015). Due to Dorthea’s age, they are not subject to the countable income limit. Example 7: Amy and her 14 year old son Patrick have been receiving SNAP. Their household income is below 200 percent of FPL. Amy quit her job without good cause and is disqualified due to noncooperation with work registration requirements. They are not categorically eligible for SNAP because of the disqualification. They will only remain eligible if they meet the two income limits (countable and net) and the resource limit.
