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

Who is Elderly?
For SNAP elderly means a person
age 60 or older
See OAR 461-001-0015

Who is Disabled?
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

NED or Not?
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.

Not!
Sorry. Anna meets the SNAP definition of
elderly, but NED clients cannot have earned
income.

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

NED Requirements
NED cases must be in SRS for 12 months
CRS
No CRS 12 Months

NED Requirements
NED cases do not receive an 852
(Interim Change Report)
The Expr Cert: will always match the Rpt Exp:

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?

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

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.

Placing a Case in SRS/NED
at CRT or REC
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

and the D-Eff:

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.

Placing an Ongoing SRS Case in NED
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

Placing an Ongoing SRS Case in NED
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

If You Get an 852…
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

If You Get an 852…
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

If You Get an 852…
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
