					 340:50-11-1.
(1)
Income.
In addition to
				  income declared by the household, the worker explores the possibility that
				  out-of-state real property is being rented or is producing income. When the
				  household has income producing home or other real property, the worker adds the
				  income to all other household income to determine eligibility and food benefit
				  allotment.

Exempt income
				  of children in migrant households.
When migrant households receive one
				  payment for work performed by all household members, the worker excludes the
				  earned income of a student 17 years of age and younger. To exclude the income,
				  the worker prorates the income equally among all working household members and
				  subtracts the student's portion.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) law permits
					 for-profit employers to take a credit on their federal income tax when workers
					 from certain target groups are hired. Workers in these target groups have faced
					 significant barriers to employment. The WOTC is equal to between 25 percent to
					 40 percent of the first year wages up to $9,600 depending on the number of
					 hours the employee works and the applicable target group for that person. The
					 main objective of this program is to enable the targeted employees to gradually
					 move from economic dependency into self-sufficiency as they earn a steady
					 income and become contributing taxpayers, while the participating employers are
					 compensated by being able to reduce their federal income tax liability.
(1) WOTC is available to employers for
				  workers hired from targeted food benefit recipient groups in (A) through (J) of
				  this subsection.
(A)
Qualified
				  veteran.
A qualified veteran is a veteran who is:
(i) a member of a household receiving
				  Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits for at least
				  three months during the first year of employment;
(ii) unemployed for a period totaling at
				  least four weeks, but less than six months, in the one-year period ending on
				  the veteran's hiring date. The weeks unemployed do not have to be consecutive;
(iii) unemployed for a period
				  totaling at least six months in the one-year period ending on the veteran's
				  hiring date. The months unemployed do not have to be consecutive;
(iv) entitled to compensation for a
				  service-connected disability and is unemployed for a period totaling at least
				  six months in the one-year period ending on the hiring date. The months
				  unemployed do not have to be consecutive; or
(v) a disabled veteran entitled to
				  compensation for a service-connected disability hired not more than one year
				  after being discharged or released from active duty in the United States (U.S.)
				  Armed Forces.
Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 340 - Department of Human Services › Chapter 50 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program › Subchapter 5 - Non-Financial Eligibility Criteria › Part 7 - RELATED PROVISIONS › Section 340:50-5-65 - Identity

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Identity.
The identity of the person making the Supplemental
				  Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) application must be verified, per Section
				  273.2(f)(1)(vii) of Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations. When an
				  authorized representative applies on behalf of a household, the identity of the
				  authorized representative and the head of household is verified. The household
				  may select as head of household an adult parent of a child of any age living in
				  the SNAP food benefit household or an adult who has parental control over a
				  child who is 17 years of age and younger living in the food benefit household,
				  provided all adult household members agree to the selection, per Oklahoma
				  Administrative Code
				  340:50-3-1(b)(2).
(b)
Identity verification.
Identity may be verified through readily available documentary evidence, or
				  when unavailable, through a collateral contact. Any documents that reasonably
				  establish the applicant's identity must be accepted and no requirement for a
				  specific type of document, such as a birth certificate, may be imposed.
				  Examples of acceptable documentary evidence include, but are not limited to;
(1) a driver license;
(2) a work or school identification
				  card;
(3) an identification card
				  for health benefits or other assistance or social service program;

Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 340 - Department of Human Services › Chapter 50 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program › Subchapter 5 - Non-Financial Eligibility Criteria › Part 7 - RELATED PROVISIONS › Section 340:50-5-66 - Residence

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Residency requirements must be verified, except in unusual
					 cases such as migrant farm worker households newly arrived in an area, where
					 verification of residency cannot reasonably be accomplished. Verification of
					 residency is accomplished to the extent such as, but not limited to, utility
					 expenses or identity. If verification cannot be accomplished in conjunction
					 with the verification of other information, then the worker uses a collateral
					 contact or other readily available documentary evidence. Documents used to
					 verify other factors of eligibility should normally suffice to verify residence
					 as well. Any document or collateral contact which reasonably establishes the
					 applicant's residency must be accepted and no requirement for a specific type
					 of verification may be imposed. No durational residency requirement may be
					 established.
(1) No individual may
				  participate as a member of more than one household or in more than one county
				  in any month unless an individual is a resident of a shelter for battered women
				  and children and was a member of a household containing the abusive
				  person.
(2) Residency is not
				  dependent on an intent to permanently reside in the state or county. Moreover,
				  the county cannot impose any durational residency requirements. A fixed
				  residence is not required. For example, migrant camp sites verify the residency
				  requirements; however, persons in a county solely for vacations will not be
				  considered residents. If it is questionable that the household resides at the
				  address or finding location given on the application, verification must be
				  accomplished in accordance with Subchapter 3 of this Chapter, covering
				  verification of questionable information.
(3) It will not be possible to verify
				  residency for homeless households, however, the case record should contain as
				  much information as possible about the household's situation.

					 ).
(1)
Applicant
				  household.
When a household member of an applicant household is subject
				  to the voluntary quit provision, the worker does not include the person in the
				  food benefits. The person is disqualified from food benefits for a period of
				  90-calendar days effective from the date the remaining household members are
				  approved for food benefits, per 7 C.F.R. § 273(j)(3)(vi). When the person
				  subject to voluntary quit is the only member of the applicant household, the
				  worker denies the food benefit application. The person's disqualification
				  period starts effective the date the denial notice issues.
(2)
Participating household.
When the worker determines that a member of a participating household
				  voluntarily quit a job or reduced his or her work effort without good cause
				  after certification, the worker removes the household member from the food
				  benefit or closes a one-person household's food benefits effective the first
				  day of the month following the next advance-notice effective date, per Appendix
				  B-2, Deadlines for Case Actions, and issues a 10-calendar day advance-notice.
				  The disqualification period runs continuously for three months beginning with
				  the month the adverse action is effective unless the household requests a fair
				  hearing, per (4) of this Section or eligibility is reestablished, per (5) of
				  this Section.
(3)
Households
				  with special circumstances.
(A)
Voluntary quit or reduction in work effort occurs or is discovered in the
				  last month of certification.
When a voluntary quit or reduction in work
				  effort occurs or is discovered in the last month of a certification period, the
				  household reapplies for food benefits, and the person subject to a voluntary
				  quit penalty is:
(i) a one-person household,
				  the worker denies the certification renewal. The person is disqualified for
				  three months beginning the day after the last certification period ends or
				  until eligibility is reestablished, per (5) of this Section; or
(ii) a member of the household containing
				  other household members, the worker disqualifies the person subject to
				  voluntary quit for three months or until eligibility is reestablished, per (5)
				  of this Section.
