195 (07/2026) Chapter 2:Eligibility • Section 4: Household information OSIPM No additional program-specific information. HSD There are no specific eligibility requirements that can be waived due to DV. If a survivor has left the home, it will be important to assess whether their tax filing status has changed if they are currently receiving medical benefits. If the survivor is a new applicant for medical, their tax filing status should be determined based on how they intend to file taxes. Program compliance There are different compliance requirements for each program. Failure to comply with these requirements may affect program eligibility. These requirements are disqualifications, disqualifying transfer of assets, fleeing felon and parole violators, failure to cooperate with the Oregon Child Support Program (OCSP), intentional program violations (IPV), quality control (QC) reviews, requirement to pay copay or make other satisfactory arrangements, and work registration.

Disqualifying Transfer of Assets SNAP When an asset is sold, traded, transferred or given away it is considered either a valid transfer or a disqualifying transfer. Each program has rules about when a transfer is considered valid or disqualifying based on: • Who the asset was transferred to, • The reason for the transfer, • When the transfer took place (the look-back period), and • The uncompensated value.

Before determining if the asset was transferred you must know who the asset belonged to. When it comes to lottery winnings this may not always be clear. Sometimes an individual is unable to claim a prize for themselves and have another individual claim it for them. If an individual claims a lottery prize greater than $600, they must attest to being the owner by signing a form similar to the image below. The person who cashed in/claimed the lottery winnings IS the owner, not the individual who originally held the ticket. Even if the claiming individual gives the winnings to the individual who originally held the ticket, the individual who claimed the winnings is still the owner and is subject to the transfer of assets rules.
