Example 2
A minor parent is receiving aid for herself and her
twin dependent children. The minor parent lives
with her unaided senior parents. One senior
parent earns $150.00 bi-weekly from part-time
employment, and receives $560.00 monthly from
Social Security Retirement benefits. The other
senior parent earns $500.00 monthly from parttime
employment. The minor parent has no
income. Per existing QR/PB rules, the grant is
computed as follows:
$150 x 2.167
= 325 + 500
Average Gross Family EI = 825
Income Disregard - 225
$ 600
50% EI Disregard - 300
Net Non-Exempt Earned Income $ 300
Average Gross Family UEI $ 560
Net Non-Exempt Earned Income + 300
$ 860
Total Net Non-Exempt Income $ 860
MAP for 5 980
Total Net Non-Exempt Income - 860
Potential Grant $ 120
MAP for 3 $ 723
Actual Grant Amount (lesser of
potential grant or AU MAP)
$ 120
