Or. Admin. R. 461-115-0210 - Application Processing Time Frames; SNAP
(1) This rule applies in the SNAP program to
an initial application and at recertification.
(2) The Department will determine eligibility
and provide the benefit group the opportunity to participate as soon as
possible. The application processing time frame for regular service is the 30
days immediately following the filing date (see OAR
461-115-0040) and not later than
the 7th day following the filing date for expedited service.
(3) The application processing time frame for
regular service includes:
(a) An interview as
soon as possible but not later than 20 days after the filing date (see OAR
461-115-0230 regarding
interviews);
(b) Completion of
required verification; and
(c) The
eligibility determination.
(4) The filing date remains effective for 60
days in both of the following situations:
(a)
If the Department is not able to complete the application process within 30
days (for example, unable to schedule an interview by the 20th day following
the filing date).
(b) If the
applicant contacts the Department before the 30th day following the filing date
and informs the Department that verification cannot be provided by the 30th day
due to reasons beyond his or her control.
(5) If, for a reason within his or her
control, the client fails to attend an interview by the 20th day following the
filing date, and the interview occurs between the 20th and 30th days following
the filing date, all verification must be provided not later than the 30th day
following the filing date. If required verification is received after the 30th
day, a new filing date is established as of the date the verification is
received.
(6) An applicant does not
lose eligibility for expedited services (see OAR
461-135-0575) due to missing the
interview.
