4003.1 Casual and Inconsequential Income

Official source

Income which is casual and inconsequential will not be considered as available income. Casual or inconsequential income is defined as income which is under $30 per recipient per calendar quarter, non- recurrent, and usually unpredictable, such as a holiday, birthday, or graduation gift. The income from a gift can be divided among the members of the budget group if the recipient of the gift claims it was intended for all of the group members. EXAMPLE: Mrs. Jones receives a $150 Christmas gift. The gift is intended to be used for Mrs. Jones and her four (4) children who receive TANF. All of this income can be disregarded since it does not exceed $30 per recipient when divided among the TANF budget group members.
