Applicants and participants of SNAP are ineligible if they make a disqualifying transfer of resources to qualify for benefits. Individuals must report transfers of resources at application, at redetermination and when the transfer occurs. ODHS|OHA must evaluate a transfer of resources to determine whether it was valid.
For ODHS|OHA to evaluate the transfer, the individual must provide documentation showing the terms of the sale or disposal of the resource. They also must provide evidence if they are claiming the transfer was valid. A non-valid transfer of a resource may be disqualifying if the transfer occurs during the three months preceding the filing date or during a certification period. A valid transfer will not result in a benefit disqualification. When the transfer occurred
The date the transfer took place is the first thing to be considered. It must be determined if the transfer is valid or disqualifying only if it occurred during these times: • For applicants - during the three months preceding the filing date. • For recipients - during the certification period.
If the transfer did not occur during the above stated time periods the transfer is not subject to the transfer of assets rule. Criteria for valid transfers
ODHS|OHA will consider a transfer valid (not disqualifying) if any of the following are true: • The resource was excluded or owning the resource did not cause the group to exceed the resource limit, therefore transferring it does not change eligibility. • The transfer is between members of the filing group and an individual who is not included in the filing group solely because they are an ineligible student. • The resource is transferred between people in the same financial group; it is still counted regardless of who owns it. • The resource was sold or traded for compensation equal to or greater than its fair market value.
If sold or traded for less than what appears to be fair market value, the individual would need evidence of making a good-faith effort to sell or exchange the resource for compensation or for goods or services equal to fair market value.
