EXAMPLE: The total monthly grant amount is $150 (see Section 44-315.43). Aid is to begin on the 17th of March, and March has 31 days. The reciprocal for the 17th day of a 31- day month is .4839. The total monthly grant amount X the reciprocal = the prorated grant amount ($150 x .4839 = $72.5850). $72.5850 is rounded to $72 which is the amount of the payment (see Section 44-315.432 if the amount of the payment is less than ten dollars).
