1. (a) Food benefit household members are defined in OAC 340:50-5-1.
(b) When the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance is frozen because a household member is participating in the Subsidized Employment Program (SEP), the household continues to be eligible for Simplified Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SSNAP) without consideration of the SEP income during the period of participation as long as household composition remains the same. Once the SEP participation period ends and the TANF benefit closes, the household may be eligible for transitional food benefits in accordance with OAC 340:50-11-27.
