የ SNAP ጊዜ ገደቦች የሚጠየቁ ጥያቄዎች.pdf

Individuals receiving SNAP can contact the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) through their Applicant Portal, local offices, or by calling 1-800-699-9075. Community partners can email questions to [email protected]. SNAP time limits apply in all counties, but yellow counties will use Discretionary Exemptions to prevent benefit loss. Community-based organizations can offer opportunities and resources to help individuals understand time limits and provide wrap-around services. SNAP participants with ABAWD status can receive SNAP for three months in a three-year period if they don't meet work requirements. Work requirements can be met through college classes or studying. Bartering activities can be documented with a letter outlining the arrangement. Training programs, including those not on the ETPL list, can qualify for exemption if verified by a community partner. Volunteer work must be verified by ODHS. Self-attestation is accepted for most exemptions, but not for work-related activities. ODHS and OED will work together on a single case plan. Local ODHS offices will have dedicated staff to assist with the ABAWD program. Community-Based Organizations must apply annually to be a Workfare site. Workfare assignments don't have to result in employment outcome at the site. Cannabis businesses are not eligible to be Workfare sites, but earnings from such businesses can be used to meet work-related exemptions. ABAWD customers can participate in On-the-Job training opportunities for six months in a twelve-month period. Oregon will apply SNAP time limits two months after the public health emergency declaration ends. ODHS is working on a communication plan, including press releases and social media announcements. Benefits will be applied the following month if the 80-hour requirement is completed. Counting months do not have to be consecutive.
