Foster care payments received for a child in the household, but not in the assistance unit EXAMPLES: Example 1. Ms. Fancy is applying for TCA for herself and 3 citizen children. Ms. Fancy is in the US with work authorization only, so she is not eligible for TCA. Ms. Fancy works part-time and earns $125 per week. She pays $50.00 per week for childcare. Since she is not eligible, her income must be prorated. $125 x 4 = $500 (monthly income) Since she is an applicant, she must pass the initial needs test.

$500 x 20% = $100 $400 countable income -100

$400 - 200 $200 (child care)

$200 / 4 (number in assistance unit, including Ms. Fancy) = $50
