Not only will Alaska as a whole benefit from the income disregard, so too will ATAP recipients. This opportunity allows for ATAP recipients to learn and practice important job skills, meet their weekly work hour requirement, and earn additional income to assist with attaining the goal of becoming self-sufficient. 12.4 PAYMENTS The maximum levels of ATAP payments for basic living expenses are set in law: • $514 a month for a family consisting of a pregnant woman in her third trimester of pregnancy and no other dependent children. • $452 a month for a dependent child living with a non-needy caretaker relative, plus $102 for each additional child. • $821 for a dependent child living with one needy parent or caretaker relative, plus $102 for each additional child. • $821 per month, for a dependent child living with two parents both of whom are able to perform gainful activity, plus $102 for each additional child. During the months of July, August and September, this amount is reduced by 50 percent. • $923 per month for a dependent child living with two parents, one of whom is physically or mentally unable to perform gainful activity, plus $102 for each additional child. 13.
