Covered Topics
What is a <strong>NED</strong> Case?<br />
A <strong>NED</strong> case is an SRS SNAP case in which<br />
all adult members are defined as:<br />
Elderly or Disabled<br />
<strong>and</strong><br />
Have no countable earned income
Who is Elderly?<br />
For SNAP elderly means a person<br />
age 60 or older<br />
See OAR 461-001-0015
Who is Disabled?<br />
An adult is considered disabled for SNAP<br />
if they are receiving:<br />
SSI or SSD or aid to the blind under<br />
SSA title XVI<br />
Disability related medical assistance<br />
under SSA title XIX (Presumptive)<br />
Other disability criteria specific to<br />
SNAP See OAR 461-001-0015
<strong>NED</strong> or Not?<br />
Anna is 63 years old <strong>and</strong> loves her job in the<br />
Garden Center at Fred Meyer. She works<br />
part time <strong>and</strong> also receives a small amount<br />
of SSB from her husb<strong>and</strong> who passed away<br />
many years ago.
Not!<br />
Sorry. Anna meets the SNAP definition of<br />
elderly, but <strong>NED</strong> clients cannot have earned<br />
income.
<strong>NED</strong> or Not?<br />
Phyllis is 72 <strong>and</strong> has been retired for many<br />
years. She is living happily on her pension<br />
<strong>and</strong> SSB. Her gr<strong>and</strong>children, age 16 <strong>and</strong><br />
17, recently came to live with her, which is<br />
why she is now applying for SNAP. Can<br />
Phyllis receive SNAP as a <strong>NED</strong>?
Absolutely!<br />
The gr<strong>and</strong>children are not considered adults<br />
for SNAP. <strong>NED</strong> cases can have children on<br />
them as long as they have no countable<br />
earned income.
<strong>NED</strong> Requirements<br />
<strong>NED</strong> cases are identified on FSMIS using:<br />
This coding is required on all cases that<br />
qualify for SRS <strong>NED</strong>
<strong>NED</strong> Requirements<br />
<strong>NED</strong> cases must be in SRS for 12 months<br />
CRS<br />
No CRS 12 Months
<strong>NED</strong> Requirements<br />
<strong>NED</strong> cases do not receive an 852<br />
(Interim Change Report)<br />
The Expr Cert: will always match the Rpt Exp:
<strong>NED</strong> Reporting<br />
<strong>NED</strong> clients are in SRS <strong>and</strong> are only<br />
required to report one thing:<br />
When countable income exceeds 130% FPL
Myrna<br />
Myrna is receiving SNAP in SRS as a <strong>NED</strong><br />
client with SSB income at 85% FPL. She<br />
has started working at a part-time job, which<br />
increases her income to 150% FPL.<br />
Is Myrna required to report this?
Myrna Answer<br />
Yes, Myrna is required to report this as she<br />
is now over 130% FPL.<br />
Bonus Question:<br />
Is Myrna still eligible as a <strong>NED</strong> client?
Bonus Answer<br />
Nope. Myrna now has countable earned<br />
income that must be coded on the case. She<br />
can no longer be coded as a <strong>NED</strong> client.<br />

Eustice<br />
Eustice is certified as SRS <strong>NED</strong> for 12<br />
months on SNAP at 150% FPL. In month 3<br />
of his certification period he goes to work<br />
part time, bringing his income to 200% FPL.<br />
Is Eustice required to report this?
Eustice Answer<br />
Nope. DHS is already aware that Eustice’s<br />
income is over 130% FPL. He has met the<br />
reporting requirements <strong>and</strong> does not have to<br />
report anything until his next certification.
Placing a Case in SRS/<strong>NED</strong><br />
at CRT or REC<br />
1. Remove any EML, SEC, SEN, TNG or<br />
HCW income segments, even if the<br />
amount is 0.00<br />
Note: Any of these income types will<br />
prevent you from coding the case as <strong>NED</strong>
Placing a case in SRS <strong>NED</strong><br />
2. Enter a Trans: CRT SRS or REC SRS<br />
<strong>and</strong> the D-Eff:
Placing a case in SRS <strong>NED</strong><br />
3. Change the N in M<strong>and</strong> Rpt: S. Do not<br />
touch the Form: or Rept: fields
Placing a case in SRS <strong>NED</strong><br />
4. Enter the Rpt Exp date, which must equal<br />
the certification end date. The certification<br />
period must be 12 months.

A Completed <strong>NED</strong> Case
Placing an Ongoing SRS Case in <strong>NED</strong><br />
Examples of this include:<br />
Cases transferred from SSP that are not<br />
yet in <strong>NED</strong><br />
People who have been approved by<br />
PMDDT<br />
This is almost the same process as a new<br />
case, but with a few added steps at the<br />
beginning.
Placing an Ongoing SRS Case in <strong>NED</strong><br />
1. Remove any EML, SEC, SEN, TNG or HCW<br />
income segments, even if the amount is 0.00<br />
2. Remove the case from SRS by using a Trans:<br />
SRS <strong>and</strong> changing the S in M<strong>and</strong> Rpt: N
Placing an Ongoing SRS Case in <strong>NED</strong><br />
3. Place the case in SRS <strong>NED</strong> using the<br />
steps on slides 20-23.<br />
4. Use Trans: SRS ADJ.<br />
Note: Do not use REC unless you are<br />
recertifying the case.
Troubleshooting<br />
If the <strong>NED</strong> just won’t work…<br />
Remove all earned income coding<br />
Are all adults elderly or disabled?<br />
Code the HH Type: <strong>NED</strong><br />
Add a HH Type: AD if the client is not elderly<br />
or receiving SSD, but is still disabled<br />
Make sure your Expr Crt: <strong>and</strong> Rpt Exp: match
If a Client Reports Earnings<br />
Remove the case from SRS <strong>NED</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
place it in regular SRS<br />
This is possible in months 1, 2, 3, <strong>and</strong> 6, 7,<br />
8 of a certification<br />
If any other month, or if you have any<br />
problems, contact the Service Desk
If You Get an 852…<br />
1. Verify the client really should be <strong>NED</strong><br />
If not <strong>NED</strong> eligible, process normally<br />
If <strong>NED</strong> eligible, continue below<br />
2. If there are no changes or benefits will<br />
increase:<br />
Process the 852 normally<br />
Narrate, Narrate, Narrate
If You Get an 852…<br />
3. If benefits will be reduced:<br />
Is the reported info “Verified Upon<br />
Receipt?” (See SNAP F-8)<br />
If Yes, take the appropriate action<br />
(Information received that is considered<br />
“Verified Upon Receipt” must be acted on)<br />
Narrate your action
If You Get an 852…<br />
4. If the info is Not “Verified Upon Receipt”<br />
Do not pend<br />
Do not verify information through screens<br />
Process the 852 with no changes<br />
Narrate why no action was taken<br />
Do not use an REC action
