679 Chapter 3:Processes and procedures • Section 3: Issuance of benefits (07/2026) For SNAP-issued benefits, look at FSUP to see if Y displays in the direct deposit field and FSUP page 3 to determine whether and how the issuance was made. • If a direct deposit issuance is indicated and BR also displays, check EBISH to see if the issuance was deposited into the EBT account. • If a direct deposit issuance displays, there is no BR status indicated for that issuance and individual claims no deposit was made, contact CMU (503-378-4369). JOBS Plus for TANF/SNAP companion cases TANF participants may be placed in a JOBS Plus assignment up to six months (with a potential for extension) as part of their JOBS activity. JOBS Plus provides an incentive to participants and employers through subsidized employment in the public or private sector where the participant is placed on the employer’s payroll and the family’s TANF/SNAP benefits are suspended. It is important for the participant to understand that SNAP benefits are diverted for the entire filing group. Although the case remains open, no issuance is made. If, for example, a minor parent living with her own parents and siblings is placed into a JOBS Plus worksite, no one in the filing group will receive SNAP benefits as long as the job continues. To ensure TANF or SNAP participants do not incur a net loss of income because of participating in JOBS Plus, ODHS will mail to the participant a supplemental check for the portion of income that falls below their benefit equivalency. TANF and SNAP benefits resume the first of the month after the JOBS Plus worksite assignment ends. Other considerations for JOBS Plus individuals: • JOBS Plus wages are excluded income. • If the individual is hired as a direct employee and goes over income for TANF,
They are eligible for Employment Payments
Their SNAP case is eligible for TBA. • Participants with more than 60 countable state months of TANF do not meet program eligibility for JOBS Plus.
JOBS plus placements may not start or be entered into ONE after the participants 58th TANF Countable month.

Legal status of benefit payments Under Oregon law, cash benefits are not subject to assignment, transfer, garnishment, levy or execution, as long as they can be identified as program payments and are separate from other money in the individual’s possession. • A cash payment accrues to and becomes vested in the individual when issued.
