ISSUE DATE: 03/2026
MFIP, MSA, GA, HSP:
No provisions.
SNAP:
You must count as available to the unit part of the income of all unit members not applying for SNAP (non-applicants) who live with a unit. To determine the amount:
1. | Determine the total gross income of the non-applicant(s). See 0017 (Determining Gross Income). |
2. | Divide the total gross income of the non-applicant(s) by the number of people in the unit, including the non-applicant(s). |
3. | Disregard the prorated share of the income for the non-applicant(s). The remaining income is the unit's share. |
4. | Apply the Gross Income Test. See 0019 (Gross Income Test). If the unit fails the GIT, deny or terminate assistance. If the unit passes the GIT, proceed to Steps 5 through 6. |
5. | From the unit's share (which you determined in Step 3), disregard 20% of the earned income. See 0018.18 (Earned Income Disregards). |
6. | The resulting amount is unearned income to the unit. Include this amount in the unit's net income test. See 0020 (Net Income Limits). |
