See 0004.51 (Destitute Units, Eligibility and Benefits). To determine which GIT to use, see 0013.06 (SNAP Categorical Eligibility/Ineligibility), 0019.06 (Gross Income Limits).

● Do not apply the GIT retrospectively to non-recurring income the unit received in the 1st 2 months of eligibility if you budgeted it prospectively.
