gross and net limits as of the day before the strike, the household’s current eligibility will be determined. A description of this process follows: Step 1: Determine the household’s pre-strike income eligibility by considering the day before the strike as the date of application and assuming the strike did not occur. All allowable deductions will be applied when determining net income. If the household was ineligible as of the day before the strike, the SNAP application will be denied. If the household was eligible as of the day before the strike, go to step 2 below. Step 2: Determine the household’s current eligibility by comparing the striking member’s current income to his or her income as of the day before the strike. Add the higher of these two amounts to the current income of all non-striking household members. Allow all applicable deductions such as the earned income deduction. The household must meet the gross and (if applicable) net income limits for the appropriate household size.
