OAR 461-175-0280. Notice Situation; Failure to Submit Periodic Report; SNAP

In the SNAP program: (1) The Department sends a continuing benefit decision notice when a benefit group in Simplified Reporting System (SRS) fails to return a complete (see OAR 461-170-0101) Periodic Report form by the due date. The notice informs the benefit group that: (a) The Periodic Report form was not received by the due date. (b) The benefit group has until the end of the continued due month (see OAR 461-170-0101) to provide the Periodic Report form to receive non-prorated benefits for the reinstate month (see OAR 461-170-0101). (c) If the Periodic Report form is not received by the Department by the last day of the continued due month, SNAP program benefits will be closed effective the last day of the continued due month. (2) The Department sends a continuing benefit decision notice (see OAR 461-001-0000) to close benefits when the benefit group fails to return a complete Periodic Report form by the due date. The SNAP program benefits will be closed effective the last day of the continued due month. (3) The Department allows a reinstate month during which a benefit group may submit a complete Periodic Report form and have the SNAP certification period reinstated. A complete Periodic Report form received after the last day of the reinstate month shall not reinstate SNAP benefits.
