OAR 461-165-0105. Exception to Staggered Issuance; SNAP

The second month’s allotment of SNAP benefits is not subject to staggered issuance if the filing group applies after the 15th of the month and the application is not for a redetermination of eligibility. Once eligibility for SNAP benefits is established for these groups, benefits are issued as follows: (1) If the case is opened on SNAPMIS by the last day of the initial month of eligibility, the computer will prorate benefits for the initial month and will automatically issue benefits for the second month on the first of that month; or (2) If the case is opened after the initial month of eligibility, the computer will prorate benefits for the initial month and will automatically issue benefits for the second month on the same day.
