Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility (BBCE) – 200% FPL • This is not an income limit. See Income over 200% and eligible for SNAP section above. • This column is only used to determine if a SNAP filing group meets the criteria to be BBCE. • BBCE is not used to determine overall Categorical Eligibility if the filing group is CE or ECE. B

Countable income limit – 130% FPL • SRS reporting requirement threshold • Applies if the filing group is not categorically eligible and there is no one in the filing group that meets the SNAP definition of elderly or disabled. C

Adjusted income limit – 100% FPL (‘Net income limit’) • All filing groups that are not CE, ECE, or BBCE are subject to this limit. • See Income over 200% and eligible for SNAP above for scenarios. D

Separate HH with elderly and/or individuals with a disability—165% FPL • This is not an income limit. • The amounts in this column are used only to determine who can form a separate filing group. • This rule applies to those who are elderly and due to having a disability must purchase and prepare with other members of the household, but who wish to file apart from them. See OAR 461-110-0370

Example: Adelaida, age 68 is receiving SSB of $1600 per month and lives with 30-year-old daughter, Eve and Eve’s child, Gabi. Adelaida is not able to purchase and prepare food due to a disability, so Eve purchases and prepares the food and all three eat together. Eve’s only income is wages of $2500 gross per month. Adelaida applies for SNAP as a household of one. • Enter all Adelaida’s as well as Eve and Gabi’s information in ONE, including Eve’s income in ONE. • On the Program Request screen, request SNAP for Adelaida only. • Adelaida must meet the SNAP definition of disabled and a disability record must be entered in ONE Even though Adelaida purchases and prepares together with Eve and Gabi, a separate filing group for Adelaida can be formed because Adelaida is not able to purchase and prepare meals independently and
