680 Chapter 3:Processes and procedures • Section 3: Issuance of benefits (07/2026) • Except for EBT, a benefit is considered issued if the check has been handed to the individual in a branch office or mailed to the individual. A benefit is considered issued and received by the individual when a direct deposit is made to the individual’s bank account. • An EBT benefit is considered received when an EBT card has been issued, a personal identification number (PIN) has been selected, and the benefits have been made available to the individual in their EBT account. • Benefits deposited to an EBT account remain available for individuals to access until they are used by the household or expunged. See the EBT benefit expungement section for more details. • For more information on benefit use, see OAR 461-165-0010 and “How to use your EBT card” brochure ODHS 0208.
