Benefit Allotment

A. After eligibility has been established, the monthly SNAP benefit allotment will be determined. The state automated system will compute the household’s allotment. The following formula shall be used to determine a household’s benefit allotment. 1. Multiply the net monthly income by thirty percent (30%) 2. Subtract the result from the maximum benefit allowed for the appropriate household size, as shown in D below. 3. Round the result down to the nearest dollar. B. If the calculation of benefits for an initial month yields an allotment of less than the federal minimum allotment referenced in 4.207.3(D), no benefits shall be issued to the household for the initial month. For eligible households that are entitled to no benefits in their initial month of application, but are entitled to benefits in subsequent months, the local office shall certify the household for a certification period beginning with the month of application. Except for households that are eligible under BCE or ECE, households with three or more members who are entitled to zero benefits shall have their SNAP application denied. This provision does not apply if zero benefits are due to the pro-ration requirements or due to the initial month's allotment being less than the federal minimum allotment referenced in 4.207.3(D). C. Except for an initial month, if the allotment for a one- or two-person household is less than the federal minimum allotment referenced in 4.207.3 D, round the allotment up to the minimum benefit allowed for a one- or two-person household. D. The SNAP maximum and minimum monthly benefit allotment tables will be adjusted as announced by the USDA, FNS.
