Self-Employment; Determination of Countable Income

This rule explains how different programs exclude or deduct costs from self-employment gross sales and receipts to determine countable

(OAR 461-001-0000) income from self-employment.

(1) The Department initially determines gross self-employment income, totaling gross sales and receipts, including mileage reimbursements, minus any returns and allowances. If there are costs permitted under OAR 461-145-0920, the Department allows deductions or exclusions from the gross self-employment income in accordance with this rule to determine countable

(OAR 461-001-0000) income from self-employment.

(2) In the OSIP, OSIPM, and QMB programs, all costs permitted under OAR 461-145-0920 are excluded.

(3) In the REF, REFM, and TANF programs, no costs are excluded.

(4) In the SNAP program, if there are any costs permitted under OAR 461-145-0920, there is an exclusion of 50 percent of gross self-employment income.

(5) In the DSNAP program, the Department allows all actual costs permitted under OAR 461-145-0920.
