Students also must register for work and be available for twenty hours o f work per week. Other changes w ill elim inate households that own luxury cars (based on blue-book value); parents o f children twelve years o f age and over must register and be available for work; households no longer need access to cooking facilities; and all able-bodied persons between the ages o f eighteen and sixty must register for and accept employment. W hile the new rules tighten program administration, they also will improve services to households. Households consisting o f elderly or disabled persons will now be inter viewed by telephone or at home, if they cannot get to the food stamp of fice or find someone to go for them. H opefully, this provision w ill in crease participation by the elderly, which, historically, has been low. Additionally, households applying for public assistance now w ill be able to apply for food stamps at the same time, without having to be inter viewed separately fo r both programs. Highlights o f the changes were sent to each client through a massive mail campaign; community meetings to explain the changes were held in eighteen areas throughout the state during the months o f February and March; extensive staff training also was held in February and March; new brochures have been placed in all 58 branch offices o f Adult and Family Services Division and w ill be available in offices o f welfare ad vocate groups. A d d itio n a l food stamp certifiers are being hired on a temporary basis to handle an antici pated increase in applicants. We’ve tried to let everyone around the state know that massive food stamp changes w ill take place on A pril 1st,” said Keith Putman, ad ministrators o f Adult and Family Services Division. “ However, we do expect apprehension and questions — this is normal whenever change occurs. A ll systems changes have been tested and re-tested, so we're not expecting too many ‘glitches’ .’ ’ Oregon implemented the "E lim i nation ot Purchase Requirement" a month early (December 1st) This was the first phase o f the food stamp changes and called for no money being exchanged for food coupons. Since December 1st, individuals and fam ilies receive only the bonus amount o f stamps, thus saving large the year. Teams and their leaders are as fol lows: Group One leaders — M r. C.C.

Currently, 175,000 low- income Oregonians take part in the program (72,000 households). The Adult and Family Services Division administers Oregon’ s participation in the Federal program. Two m ajor changes in the program include lowering the income limits and ending the use o f most itemized deductions. Gross income w ill now be limited to $4,600 for single, non-working individuals and $7,470 for a non-working family o f four. For a family o f four with a working member, the net income ceiling has been lowered from $6,960 to $6.504. Deductions to determine the net annual income are being limited to $65 for each household, $80 for high shelter costs and child care and twenty percent o f earned in come for work-related expenses.
