When a member of the filing group (see OAR 461-110-0310 and 461-110-0370) is not in the need group (see OAR 461-110-0630), benefits in the SNAP program are calculated as follows: (1) The process described in sections (2) and (3) of this rule is used if the member is any of the following: (a) A noncitizen but not a qualified noncitizen (see OAR 461-120-0125); (b) A qualified noncitizen who does not meet the noncitizen status requirements; (c) Disqualified for failing to obtain or provide a Social Security Number; (d) Unwilling to disclose noncitizen status; or (e) An ABAWD (see OAR 461-135-0520) who is ineligible because of the SNAP time limit in OAR 461-135-0520. (2) If the member is in a group described in section (1) of this rule: (a) The member's countable (see OAR 461-001-0000) income is prorated among the members in the filing group. (b) The pro rata share of each individual not in the benefit group (see OAR 461-110-0750) is excluded. (c) The rest of the prorated income is countable income for the filing group. (3) An ineligible or disqualified member covered by section (1) of this rule is entitled to all income deductions for which the member qualifies. Effective January 19, 2023, when paid by the member, or billed to the member and unpaid, deductions for shelter, medical costs, and dependent care are calculated as follows: (a) The deductions, except deductions for the utility standard, are prorated among the members of the filing group. (b) The prorated share of the members of the benefit group is deducted. (c) The deduction for the utility standard is made in accordance with OAR 461-160-0420. (4) The countable income of the following financial group (see OAR 461-110-0530) members, subject to allowable deductions, is used to determine benefits: (a) An individual disqualified under the SNAP Employment and Training program (see OAR 461-001-0020) or because of an intentional program violation (see OAR 461-195-0601). (b) An individual determined ineligible for SNAP in accordance with OAR 461-135-0560.
