1301 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Example 1: Lourdes goes into her local ODHS office and submits a signed application for TA-DVS. Her safety is taken into consideration and she is scheduled an intake the same day. On her application, she reports she still lives with her husband, the abuser. The worker will exclude the abuser from the household group. Filing group Pregnancy Example 1: Talia comes into the office and applies for TA-DVS. Talia is five months pregnant, does not have any other eligible children, and does not have verification of proof of pregnancy. If Talia meets all other TA-DVS eligibility, we can approve the TA-DVS eligibility, but no payments may be issued until we receive verification of the pregnancy. Children 18 and older Example 1: Jonah has an open TA-DVS case with their three children in the household. Jonah’s oldest child turns 19 during the TA-DVS certification period. Jonah’s oldest child is no longer an eligible dependent and would fall out of the filing group. Example 2: Alex applies for TA-DVS with their 18-year-old child who is currently attending high school full time and will turn 19 in three weeks. The 18-year-old is an eligible dependent during the eligibility intake and all other eligibility criteria is met. The TA-DVS case is approved for the 90-day certification period. The family coach will need to inform Alex that unless another dependent joins their filing group, the case will close when their 18-year- old turns 19, as they will no longer have an eligible dependent. Payments may be made until there is no longer an eligible dependent, at which time the case would need to be closed, and any future payments denied for loss of eligibility. Chapter 5, section 4: Individual information Residency Example 1: Carl recently moved to Oregon and set up a PO Box. He is in the office today requesting help with his DV situation. Carl states that his abuser located him in Oregon and he needs to flee the state. The worker determines that Carl, is currently a resident of Oregon, even though Carl plans on moving out of Oregon. Example 2: Judah and his son fled from their family home over the weekend, away from Judah’s abuser. He was able to locate a domestic violence shelter in Washington state as he lives close to the state border. He can stay at the domestic violence shelter until he can obtain safe and stable housing. He goes to a nearby ODHS office in Oregon to apply for TA-DVS. Judah meets residency requirements for TA-DVS as he is only out of the state for temporary safe shelter. Chapter 5, section 5: Financial eligibility Countable income Example 1: Rosa is applying for TA-DVS and she states that she was paid last week but her abuser emptied out their bank account. The worker reassures Rosa that the pay she received will not be counted against her in
