1266 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Example 1: Antonina moved to Oregon from Washington. At intake she said she had about four years on assistance in Washington. The worker called Washington but was unable to make a connection with anyone. Since all other eligibility factors were met, the worker opened TANF for the children only and pended Antonina for proof of time on TANF in Washington. The worker emailed Washington. Two weeks later, she received an email from Washington verifying she had received TANF for 48 months, none of which were prior to July 2003 or in Indian Country. The worker was able to supplement TANF back to the filing date. Example 2: Eryk and his children moved to Oregon from Washington, D.C. Eryk said he had received 60 months of TANF in DC and so the family had timed out. Eryk did not meet a hardship extension criteria. The worker tried to call D.C., but the office was already closed because of the difference in time zones. Since the family met all other eligibility requirements, the worker opened benefits for the children only and pended Eryk for proof of time on TANF in D.C. The worker then faxed a request to D.C. to verify time on TANF for Eryk. The verification was received two days later. Because Eryk had received TANF for 60 months, none of which were prior to July 2003 or in Indian Country, the worker sent a notice to Eryk denying him TANF and updated the Out-of- State Time Limit screens. TANF remained open for the children. Other parent available to provide care Individual program example(s) ERDC Example 1: Sam and Diane are applying for ERDC. Sam is working full time and Diane is receiving SSI. Receipt of SSI alone does not mean Diane cannot provide adequate care for their children. Diane provides medical documentation stating that she cannot lift more than 10 lbs. She has a 15-month-old child and a 5 year old. ERDC is approved because the worker can determine that the 15 month old requires a caregiver to lift them and the child weighs more than 10 lbs. Job separation and voluntary reduction of hours Individual program example(s) SNAP For examples on SNAP ABAWD and Work Registrants, please refer to the WR & ABAWD Desk Guide. TANF TANF does not have an employment separation penalty.
