What if an MFIP household’s income decreases significantly?

If families have a drop in income and is expected to continue, they can report and verify the change to determine if their benefits can be recalculated by the eligibility worker.

See Combined Manual 0008.06.15 (Removing or Recalculating Income).

What happens when an MFIP assistance unit member gets a one-time payment in a month?

Calculations for the MFIP grant depend on whether the one-time payment is counted. One-time payments, also known as non-recurring income, can be earned or unearned.

Non-recurring income is only counted, if listed in Combined Manual 0017.12.03 (Unearned Income).
