586 Chapter 3:Processes and procedures • Section 1: Acting on reported changes (07/2026) Change Reporting System (CRS) The Change Reporting System is a 10-day reporting system with many reporting requirements. While in CRS, program benefits may change each time the household reports a change that is expected to continue. To inform participants of their CRS reporting requirements, ODHS|OHA provides them with the Change Report (DHS 0943). SNAP Filing groups certified to receive SNAP benefits for less than six months or that include a member working under a JOBS Plus agreement are placed into CRS. The following changes are required to be reported within 10 days when SNAP cases are in CRS: • A change in earned income of more than $125 • A change in unearned income of more than $125 • A change in an income’s source • A change in membership of the filing group and any resulting change in income (earned or unearned) • A change in residence and the shelter costs associated with the new residence • A change in the legal obligation to pay child support • When the household’s resources reach or exceed SNAP resource limits (including cash on hand, stocks, money in a checking or savings account or any other form of liquid assets), and • Acquisition of or change in ownership of a non-excludable vehicle. • When work hours go below 20 hours per week for an able-bodied adult without dependents (ABAWD) who is subject to the SNAP Time Limits. When multiple changes are reported at the same time, they must be acted on at the time of reporting. Individuals are also required to report the receipt of gambling or lottery winnings equal to or greater than the resource limit for elderly or disabled households (see OAR 461-160-0015). TANF TANF cases are in CRS. The following changes are required to be reported within 10 days: • Acquisition of or change in ownership of a non-excluded vehicle • A change in earned income of more than $100 • A change in unearned income of more than $50 • A change of employment status
