An AG is ineligible for TANF for any month in which the natural or adoptive parent residing in the home (regardless of whether the parent is included in the award), or the only eligible child is participating in a strike on the last day of the month. (f22) If any other member of the AG is participating in a strike on the last day of the month, that member is ineligible for TANF and their needs are not to be included when determining eligibility for the remainder of the AG. The term "month", as used above, means "payment month". 2840.40.00 MILITARY ALLOTMENTS
An individual may be receiving or be eligible to receive a military allotment if the spouse, adult child, or parent, is in the United States Armed Forces. These payments are counted as unearned income.
If the individual in the military makes money available to the applicant or participating AG, the money is a contribution to the AG. Usually, this is done by direct deposit into a joint checking account.
For SNAP, if any portion of the contribution from the military member is a result of deployment to a combat zone, that portion is excluded from income to the AG. The deployed person’s military pay record, the Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) will identify if the member has been deployed to a combat zone and the amount of the combat pay. Contact PAL with questions in regard to combat zones.
