(AR/CO) Mid-Period Changes to Cash Aid

Example 3:

A Region 1 nonexempt AU of three (timed out mother and three children) is in the October through September AR/CO Payment Period. On her previous SAWS 2 received in September, (AR/CO Data Month for the previous AR/CO Payment Period was August), mother reported her earned income to be $600 and that she expected no changes for the next AR/CO Payment Period. The grant amount for the AR/CO Payment Period was calculated as follows:

$ 600 Reasonably Anticipated Monthly Income for the Family

- 225 $225 Earned Income Disregard

$ 375 Subtotal

- 187 50% Earned Income Disregard*

$ 187 Total Net Nonexempt Income*

$ 670 Non-exempt MAP for Three, Region 1

- 187 Less Net Nonexempt Income*

$ 483 AU Monthly Grant for the AR/CO Payment Period

* 50% Earned Income Disregard and Net Nonexempt Income must be rounded down to the nearest dollar amount: MPP Section 44-315.34

On November 25, the mother reports her monthly earned income has decreased to $500 and she does not expect any changes for the remainder of the AR/CO Payment Period.

The Mid-Period Grant Calculation for the Remaining Months of the AR/CO Payment Period Would Be:

$ 500 Reasonably Anticipated Monthly Income for the Family

- 225 $225 Earned Income Disregard

$ 275 Subtotal

- 137 50% Earned Income Disregard*

$ 137 Total Net Nonexempt Income*
