1265 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Example 7: Fred and his wife Genevieve came to Oregon after having received 60 months of TANF in Washington. The family meets all financial and nonfinancial eligibility criteria, except for time limits. Neither Fred nor Genevieve meet any Oregon hardship extension criteria. The TANF case would open just for the children. Both Fred and Genevieve would be considered JOBS-eligible and would need to engage with their case plan for the family to remain eligible for TANF. Out-of-state benefits Individual program example(s) SNAP Example 1: ABAWD and SNAP time limits: Lisa is an ABAWD and she applied for SNAP benefits on March 3, 2019. She is not exempt and is subject to the SNAP time limit. She must comply with the work requirements. She reports receiving benefits from the state of Washington from 10/1/2018 – 2/28/2019. She does not know if she was an ABAWD in Washington. You call the former state, and the Washington worker tells you that Lisa was an ABAWD subject to the SNAP time limits and she used three counting months in Washington for the months of 12/2018, 1/2019 and 2/2019. Oregon’s clock began on 1/1/2019, two of the counting months in Washington were received 1/2019 or later. Therefore, two of the three-counting months count as CT months in Oregon. The worker should note 1/2019 and 2/2019 as countable months. The counting month received from the state of Washington for 12/2018 does not count in Oregon because it was applied before Oregon’s clock began. Example 2: ABAWD and SNAP time limits: Fred is an ABAWD and is applying for SNAP benefits on Dec. 28, 2020. He is not exempt and is subject to the SNAP time limit. You explain that he must comply with the work requirements. He presents an out-of-state I.D. from California during your intake and you ask if he received benefits from that state. Fred tells you that he received SNAP benefits there, but they closed his benefits because he did not keep doing his job classes. You call the former state, and the California worker tells you that Fred was an ABAWD subject to the SNAP time limits and he used three counting months in California for the months of 9/2020, 10/2020 and 11/2020. All three-counting months count as CT months in Oregon because they were received after Oregon’s clock began. TANF Verifying time on TANF from another state
