How is financial eligibility determined when
adding a person mid-quarter?
The new grant amount is based on the AU’s existing
averaged monthly income and the new person’s
calculated averaged monthly income for the
remaining months of the quarter. The previously
calculated existing AU’s income is not recalculated.
The new person’s calculated income is added to the
existing AU’s income for the remaining months of the
quarter.
What is Net Non-Exempt Income?
Net non-exempt income is the gross income for the
Assistance Unit (AU) and from the non-AU members
(if applicable), minus all applicable income (i.e.,
exemptions/disregards).
Gross income includes:
Earnings of a part-time student applicant.
Current child support payments collected by the
county (excluding payments for MFG children).
