Section 340:50-5-46 - Strikers

(a) Definition. A striker is defined as anyone involved in a strike or concerted work stoppage by employees, including a stoppage by reason of the expiration of a collective-bargaining agreement, and any concerted slowdown or other concerted interruption of operations by employees, per Section 273.1 of Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Households with one or more members on strike are ineligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits unless the household received or was eligible to receive SNAP food benefits the day prior to the strike, per (c) of this Section.

(b) Persons not considered strikers. Persons who are not considered strikers include employees:

(c) Income determination. When a household applies for SNAP food benefits after a household member goes on strike, eligibility at application is determined by comparing the striking member's income the day before the strike to the striker's current income. The worker considers the higher of the two as countable income for the striking member, adds the income to the non-striking members' current income, and allows the usual deductions, per OAC 340:50-7-31, to determine eligibility. When a household receives SNAP food benefits the day prior to the strike and reports a loss of income due to the strike, the worker does not increase the food benefit because of this income loss.
