What is a NED Case?

A NED case is an SRS SNAP case in which all adult members are defined as:

Elderly or Disabled

and

Have no countable earned income

For SNAP elderly means a person

age 60 or older

See OAR 461-001-0015

Who is Elderly?

An adult is considered disabled for SNAP if they are receiving:

SSI or SSD or aid to the blind under SSA title XVI

Disability related medical assistance under SSA title XIX (Presumptive)

Other disability criteria specific to SNAP See OAR 461-001-0015

Who is Disabled?

Anna is 63 years old and loves her job in the

Garden Center at Fred Meyer. She works

part time and also receives a small amount

of SSB from her husband who passed away

many years ago.

NED or Not?

Sorry. Anna meets the SNAP definition of

elderly, but NED clients cannot have earned

income.

Not!

NED or Not?

Phyllis is 72 and has been retired for many years. She is living happily on her pension and SSB. Her grandchildren, age 16 and 17, recently came to live with her, which is why she is now applying for SNAP. Can Phyllis receive SNAP as a NED?

Absolutely!

The grandchildren are not considered adults for SNAP. NED cases can have children on them as long as they have no countable earned income.

NED Requirements

NED cases are identified on FSMIS using:

This coding is required on all cases that qualify for SRS NED

CRSNo CRS 12 Months

NED Requirements

NED cases do not receive an 852 (Interim Change Report)

NED Reporting

NED clients are in SRS and are only required to report one thing:

When countable income exceeds 130% FPL

Myrna

Myrna is receiving SNAP in SRS as a NED client with SSB income at 85% FPL. She has started working at a part-time job, which increases her income to 150% FPL.

Is Myrna required to report this?

Myrna Answer

Yes, Myrna is required to report this as she is now over 130% FPL.

Bonus Question:

Is Myrna still eligible as a NED client?

Nope. Myrna now has countable earned income that must be coded on the case. She can no longer be coded as a NED client.

Bonus Answer

Eustice

Eustice is certified as SRS NED for 12 months on SNAP at 150% FPL. In month 3 of his certification period he goes to work part time, bringing his income to 200% FPL.

Is Eustice required to report this?

Eustice Answer

Nope. DHS is already aware that Eustice’s income is over 130% FPL. He has met the reporting requirements and does not have to report anything until his next certification.

1. Remove any EML, SEC, SEN, TNG or HCW income segments, even if the amount is 0.00

Note: Any of these income types will prevent you from coding the case as NED

Placing a Case in SRS/NEDat CRT or REC

Placing a case in SRS NED

2. Enter a Trans: CRT SRS or REC SRS and the D-Eff:


3. Change the N in Mand Rpt: S. Do not touch the Form: or Rept: fields


4. Enter the Rpt Exp date, which must equal the certification end date. The certification period must be 12 months.


5. Enter the HH Types: NED


6. Make any other changes needed and press F9

A Completed NED Case

Placing an Ongoing SRS Case in NED

Examples of this include: Cases transferred from SSP that are not yet in NED People who have been approved by PMDDT

This is almost the same process as a new case, but with a few added steps at the beginning.


1. Remove any EML, SEC, SEN, TNG or HCW income segments, even if the amount is 0.00

2. Remove the case from SRS by using a Trans: SRS and changing the S in Mand Rpt: N


3. Place the case in SRS NED using the steps on slides 20-23.

4. Use Trans: SRS ADJ.

Note: Do not use REC unless you are recertifying the case.

Troubleshooting

If the NED just won’t work…Remove all earned income coding

Are all adults elderly or disabled?

Code the HH Type: NED

Add a HH Type: AD if the client is not elderly or receiving SSD, but is still disabled

Make sure your Expr Crt: and Rpt Exp: match

If a Client Reports Earnings

Remove the case from SRS NED and place it in regular SRS

This is possible in months 1, 2, 3, and 6, 7, 8 of a certification

If any other month, or if you have any problems, contact the Service Desk


1. Verify the client really should be NED If not NED eligible, process normally If NED eligible, continue below

2. If there are no changes or benefits will increase: Process the 852 normally Narrate, Narrate, Narrate


3. If benefits will be reduced: Is the reported info “Verified Upon

Receipt?” (See SNAP F-8)

If Yes, take the appropriate action (Information received that is considered “Verified Upon Receipt” must be acted on)

Narrate your action


4. If the info is Not “Verified Upon Receipt” Do not pend

Do not verify information through screens

Process the 852 with no changes

Narrate why no action was taken

Do not use an REC action
