SNAP BENEFITS APPROVED IN SIMPLIFIED REPORTING

Your food benefits have been approved. You did not need to have an interview because your DHS office is participating in a special project. We approved your benefits based on the information you gave us and proof you provided.

Your food benefits start on ##/##/##. Your first month's food benefits will be $#,###.##. If there are no other changes, your full month's food benefits will be $#,###.##. Your food benefits are based on ## person(s) and $#,###.## countable income. Your benefit period will be ##/##/## to ##/##/##. If you need food benefits after that date, you will need to reapply.

We are placing you in the Simplified reporting system (SRS). This

means you only need to report one thing during a six-month period.

You must report when your monthly gross income is more than $#,###.##.

Report this change by the 10th of the month after the change. You do not need to

report other changes. However, you may want to if they will give you

more benefits. If you are receiving cash or medical benefits you

must continue to report the changes for those programs.

People in the Simplified Reporting System must fill out the Interim

Change Report form in six months.

This form will be mailed to you in the fifth month.

You may also qualify for other help. The Oregon Telephone Assistance

Program (OTAP) helps with the cost of basic phone service. Families with

children can get free or low price school meals. In some areas, meals

are offered in the summer

Talk to your worker for more about this.

If anyone in your group has an overpayment, your monthly food

benefits will be less until the amount is paid back. The reduction

will be $10.00 or 10%, whichever is more. We may also collect the

overpayment from tax returns.
