Chapter: 2200 Standard Filing Unit Program: FS 16 4. Expenses billed to the technically ineligible member but paid entirely with the eligible member’s income because the ineligible member has no income, count in full in the budget. If the expense is billed to the technically ineligible member, but paid for with the eligible member’s income and the ineligible member’s income, prorate the expense in the budget. If the expense is billed to and paid entirely by the technically ineligible member, prorate the expense in the budget; and 5. When the SFU contains a technically ineligible member, do not prorate the appropriate utility standard in the budget. Allow the full SUA, BUA, or Phone Standard if the dwelling is eligible for a standard.

Refer to passage 2610.0410 for an explanation of what constitutes disqualification and technical ineligibility. 2210.0324 Income and Assets Excluded (FS) The income and assets of excluded individuals such as roomers, live-in attendants, boarders, students, and individuals who do not purchase and prepare meals together are not considered available to the SFU. 2210.0325 Participation Status Codes (FS) When the SFU composition has been determined, a participation code is assigned to each individual. This code determines how each individual's needs, income, and assets are counted in FLORIDA and whether or not the individual is eligible to receive food stamps.

The participation status codes that will be used in the Food Stamp Program are described as follows:

EA - Eligible or Potentially Eligible Adult - The income, assets, and needs are included. The individual is entitled to appropriate disregards and receives benefits.

EC - Eligible or Potentially Eligible Child - The income, assets, and needs are included. The individual is entitled to appropriate disregards and receives benefits.

RA - Removed Adult - An optional member who has been removed. As this individual is no longer part of the SFU, their income, assets, and needs are not included.

RC - Removed Child - An optional member who has been removed. As this individual is no longer part of the SFU, their income, assets, and needs are not included.

FA - Financial Adult - The income and assets are counted but disregards are not given. The individual's needs are excluded, and they are not part of the assistance group. This situation occurs when an adult is ineligible due to IPV or Food Stamp E&T penalties or RWB work requirement penalty.

FC - Financial Child - The income and assets are counted but disregards are not given. The child's needs are excluded, and they are not part of the assistance group. This situation occurs when a child is ineligible due to IPV or Food Stamp E&T penalty or RWB work requirement penalty.

PA - Prorated Adult - The income is prorated and the assets are counted in their entirety. This individual's needs are excluded and they are not part of the assistance group. This situation occurs when the individual is ineligible due to welfare enumeration, noncitizen status, or citizenship requirements.
