(1) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance; or

(2) TANF cash assistance and a companion State Supplemental Payment (SSP) case.

(1) no household member receives TANF cash assistance;

(2) all household members receive SSP; or

(3) any household member is a disqualified or ineligible food benefit household member, per Oklahoma Administrative Code 340:50-5-10.1.

(c) Household definition. Food benefit household members are determined using Part 1 of Subchapter 5 of this Chapter.

(1) When the household currently receives non-public assistance (non-PA) food benefits, the food benefits remain non-PA until TANF is certified.

(2) When the household does not receive food benefits and applies for TANF and food benefits at the same time, SSNAP rules are not used to determine food benefit eligibility when the:
(A) household qualifies for expedited service and the TANF application will not be certified within seven-calendar days;

(B) TANF application eligibility determination process will take longer than 30-calendar days;

(C) TANF application will not be certified for the application month and food benefits must be issued for the initial month; or
