Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Sources of income considered.
The worker considers all household
				  income, unless specifically excluded, per Section 273.9(c) of Title 7 of the
				  Code of Federal Regulations (7 C.F.R. §
											273.9(c)) and Oklahoma
				  Administrative Code (OAC)
				  340:50-7-22, in
				  determining monthly gross income. Income is classified as earned or unearned.
When one or more household members are absent from the
					 home, before deciding whether to consider the absent household member's income,
					 the worker must determine if the person returns to the home for part of the
					 month.
(1) The worker does not include
				  the absent member in the benefit amount and only counts the portion of his or
				  her income that he or she makes available to the rest of the household when the
				  household member does not return for part of the month, per OAC
				  340:50-5-2.
(2) When the household member
				  returns for part of each month, the worker includes him or her in the benefit
				  amount and counts all of his or her income unless excluded, per OAC
				  340:50-7-22.

(1) he or she declares
				  himself or herself to be self-employed;
(2) there is an employer/employee
				  relationship and the employer does not withhold income taxes or Federal
				  Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), even when required by law to do so;

(a)
Household
				  income.
The worker counts all income the household expects to receive
				  during the certification period except for income sources excluded per Oklahoma
				  Administrative Code (OAC)
				  340:50-7-22.
(b)
Income
				  verification.
The worker verifies the gross, non-exempt income for all
				  households prior to certification. When all attempts to verify income are
				  unsuccessful because the person or organization providing the income fails to
				  cooperate with the household, the worker calculates income based on the best
				  available information.
(1)
Method of
				  verifying income.
The worker uses documentary evidence as the primary
				  source of verification per Section 273.2(f) of Title 7 of the Code of Federal
				  Regulations. Documentary evidence consists of a written confirmation of a
				  household's circumstances. The household has primary responsibility for
				  providing documentary evidence. The worker must assist the household when
				  requested, when the household is willing, but unable to obtain the documentary
				  evidence.
(A) Documents that verify earned
				  income include, but are not limited to:
(i)
				  pay stubs;
(ii) employee W-2
				  forms;
(iii) wage tax receipts;
(iv) state or federal income tax
				  returns;
(v) self-employed
				  bookkeeping credits;

Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 340 - Department of Human Services › Chapter 50 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program › Subchapter 7 - Financial Eligibility Criteria › Part 5 - DETERMINATION OF INCOME › Section 340:50-7-46 - Converting to monthly income

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Converting income.
When the household receives income more often
				  than monthly, the worker converts the income to a monthly amount as indicated
				  in (1) through (5) of this subsection. When the amounts to be converted differ,
				  such as fluctuating daily, weekly, or biweekly amounts, the worker averages the
				  income per (c) of this Section. The worker carries cents through all steps and
				  then rounds the monthly income amount to the nearest dollar with one cent
				  through 49 cents rounded down and 50 cents through 99 cents rounded up.
(1)
Daily.
The worker converts
				  income received on a daily basis to a weekly amount. When there is a
				  consistency in days worked each week and a regularity of pay dates, the worker
				  multiplies the weekly income by 4.3. When there is no consistency, refer to (5)
				  of this subsection for irregular income processing.
(2)
Weekly.
The worker
				  multiplies income received weekly by 4.3.
(3)
Twice a month.
The worker
				  multiplies income received twice a month by 2.
(4)
Biweekly.
The worker
				  multiplies income received every two weeks by 2.15.
(5)
Irregular income.
The worker
				  does not convert income received at irregular intervals by 4.3, 2, or 2.15,
				  when there is no consistency in the work offered or when pay is received.
				  Instead, the worker adds all irregular income received in the calendar month
				  together to arrive at a monthly average. When more than one month of irregular
				  income is available, the worker totals the income and divides it by the number
				  of months used.

Benefit delivery and access.
Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) uses

				stored in a central computer database and electronically accessed by eligible
				households at the point of sale via plastic EBT cards, called Access Oklahoma,
				and personal identification numbers (PIN).

				a notice to eligible households informing them of the date they can access
				their SNAP food benefits.
(2) The
				EBT system credits food benefits to eligible households' food benefit account
				each month they are certified.

				from a business approved by the United States Department of Agriculture to
				accept food benefits.

Expedited service screening.
Oklahoma Human Services Adult and Family Services staff designated by the

				  Nutrition Assistance Program application, including those received from
				  residents of approved drug and alcohol treatment centers and group homes, on
				  the day it is received in the county office or support center to determine if
				  the household is entitled to expedited services. When an initial application
				  indicates the household is eligible for expedited service, action is taken
				  immediately to begin processing the application.
(1) Applications, other than certification
				  renewals, are considered initial applications. Certification renewals are
				  applications received before the household's certification period expires or on
				  the first day of the month following expiration of the certification period.
				  Certification renewals are not screened for expedited service.
(2) When an application is received on the
				  second day of the month following expiration of the certification period or any
				  day thereafter, it is considered an initial application and is subject to
				  prorated benefits and expedited screening.

To expedite the certification process, the worker must
					 verify the applicant's identity and conduct the household's interview as soon
					 as possible to ensure the household, when eligible, receives timely expedited
					 service.
(1)
Reasonable
				  verification pursuit.
The worker makes reasonable efforts to verify,
				  within the seven-calendar day expedited processing standard, the household's
				  residency, income statement, and all other eligibility factors before
				  certification, per Section 273.2(i) of Title 7 of the Code of Federal
				  Regulations. This effort includes evaluating the household's explanation of how
				  the household meets its needs when declared expenses exceed reported income or
				  when the household reports no household income.
(A) The worker verifies eligibility factors
				  through documentary evidence or, when documentary evidence is not readily
				  available, through a collateral contact.
(B) The worker may postpone verifying
				  eligibility factors other than identity that could not be verified within the
				  expedited service processing time limit. In most instances, it is expected that
				  the applicant verify at least residence and income, within the time limit.
(C) The worker must not delay
				  certification up to, or beyond the time limit, solely because factors other
				  than identity were not verified. When the household is unlikely to be able to
				  provide the required verification within the expedited service timeframe, the
				  worker must postpone verification.
