What if an MFIP household’s income decreases significantly?

If families have a significant drop in income 1 month and they want their benefits to reflect that, they can request a “significant change”.

They can do this twice in a 12-month period. 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).
