WORK PROGRAM ORIENTATIONS/TRAININGS AND SNAP
QUESTION-Are there programs that require orientations or trainings to continue to qualify to receive SNAP (food stamps)?

ANSWER- Yes.
There are employment and training programs associated with the SNAP program.

-Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents (or ABAWD) which requires individuals aged 18 but not yet 52 with no dependents in the SNAP filing group to participate in work requirements. There are some reasons why a person would be exempt from ABAWD. The ODHS eligibility worker will review these exemptions or requirements with the individual.

-Individuals who are not ABAWD may also volunteer for an employment and training program called STEP (SNAP Training and Employment Program) which offers job readiness activities and training. The ODHS eligibility worker can provide more information on STEP.

-OFSET (Oregon Food Stamp Employment Transition) is a program that requires some individuals to participate in mandatory orientations or check-ins for work search purposes, and if the client fails to attend or fails to show good cause why they didn't attend they may get disqualified from receiving SNAP.
