503 (07/2026) Chapter 2:Eligibility • Section 8: Disaster (Emergency) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP) Oregon Administrative Rule(s) 461-135-0497 — Household Liability in the DSNAP Recertifications If FNS extends the authorization period beyond the original designation and the extension goes beyond the end of the original disaster benefit period, FNS may authorize CAF to permit certified households who have already received emergency benefits to apply for recertification and receive additional SNAP benefits for an additional benefit period, if they still meet the disaster eligibility criteria. A household applying for recertification must again submit a DHS 0349 and be interviewed. At recertification, identity and residency need not be reverified unless the branch office believes these items to be questionable. If an extension is granted, the State Office shall issue a press release notifying households that the disaster authorization period has been extended for emergency SNAP benefits. The press release will advise households of where they may apply for additional emergency benefits and the date by which a household must file an application to receive extended benefits. Oregon Administrative Rule(s) 461-135-0493 — Eligibility and Benefit Amount for DSNAP 461-135-0495 — Recertifications for DSNAP Hearings Households denied emergency SNAP benefits may request a hearing. Households requesting hearings shall be offered immediate supervisory reviews of their cases due to the time that is likely to pass before a hearing decision can be rendered. The supervisory review shall not replace the regular hearing. The request for a hearing may be withdrawn if the situation is resolved by the supervisory review. Requests must be withdrawn in writing. Household liability Households will be held liable for any overissuances discovered in the course of postdisaster audit activities. CAF will establish claims and apply penalties in accordance with OARs 461-195-0501 through 461-195-0621 against any household that received more emergency SNAP benefits than it was entitled to receive. Regardless of whether overissuances are discovered in the course of the post-disaster review or by other means, in accordance with OARs 461-195-0501 through 461-195-0621, a claim will be established against any household that received more emergency SNAP than it is entitled to receive.
