1217 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples SNAP Example 1: Neil and his son JJ are receiving a TANF benefit of $432. On April 13 the worker enters a DQ1 Record (TANF JOBS disqualification) and the TANF grant is reduced to $405 effective May 1. There will be no change to the SNAP budget as the TANF grant of $432 continues to be counted. NOTE: If the disqualification is not ended, the TANF grant will reduce to $378 for June, $351 for July, and $324 for August onward. The grant in the SNAP budget will remain $432 until the DQ is ended. If TANF closes for a reason that would not clear the DQ, then the TANF grant of $432 will continue to be counted in the SNAP budget for 12 months from the TANF discontinuance. Example 2: Nellie and her daughter Aubrey are receiving a TANF benefit of $432. On April 13 the worker enters a record of DQ1 and the TANF grant will be reduced to $405 effective May 1. Nellie decides to close TANF without clearing the DQ so she can save TANF months. The $432 TANF grant continues to be counted in the SNAP budget after the TANF closes. On 8/15, Nellie begins work and submits verification she will be earning $700 a month. This earned income exceeds the TANF countable income limit, so the participant no longer qualifies for TANF. The worker ends the DQ, enters the Wages record and the Wages are included in the SNAP budget, but the TANF grant is not. TANF Example 1: Terry, a noncustodial parent has been ordered by a court to pay child support his daughter Tabatha’s mother, Abigail but chooses to make a payment to a landlord for shelter expenses for Tabatha (rather than making the payment directly to the DOJ Oregon Child Support Program or directly to Abigail). A noncustodial parent’s payments to a third party for the benefit of the financial group are considered child support and are countable, unearned income. Example 2: Daryl is in the office needing to apply for TANF. Daryl states that his grandchildren, Beth, Mika, and Lizzie are all living with him. During the interview, Daryl reports that the grandchildren are not his biological grandkids. Daryl was dating their grandmother, but she left to Costa Rica. With this revelation, Daryl is not eligible for TANF. ERDC Non-citizen Example 1: Michonne is applying for ERDC for her two children. Michonne states she works at a bakery and needs help with child care while working. She states her daughter, Judith, is a U.S. citizen and her son, Michael, does not meet immigration status requirements at this time. An interview is conducted, eligibility is determined and the family is approved for ERDC. The worker lets Michonne know that both Judith and Michael are eligible for child care because children are not required to meet citizenship or immigration status requirements to receive care.
