same TANF or SNAP case, the benefit amount for the case may be used for only one member of that household. Examples of the FLSA calculation are shown below. Example 1: NO CHILD SUPPORT RECOVERY INCLUDED 1. Family of 3 - maximum grant
Total SNAP benefit: $ 426.00
Total TANF Grant: 170.00
TWP Work (transportation) Stipend: 300.00
VISTA Stipend* 0.00
Total Monthly Benefits $ 896.00 *AmeriCorps members (VISTA Volunteers) receive a modest living allowance and health coverage while participating in the program. This allowance will be included in the FLSA calculation. However, VISTA stipends are excluded when determining eligibility for TANF. 2. Total monthly benefits are divided by the federal minimum wage to determine the number of hours per month. $896.00 ± $7.25 = 123.58 hours per month 3. The number of hours per month is divided by 21 days to determine the number of hours per day. 123.58 ± 21 = 5.88 hours per day (8 hours per day maximum) (TANF) + (SNAP) + TWP Work (transportation) Stipend + VISTA Volunteer* = (Total Benefits) ± (FMW) ± 21 Example 2: CHILD SUPPORT RECOVERY INCLUDED Jane Smith will receive for October, $170 TANF grant, $300 TWP work (transportation) stipend, and $200 SNAP benefit. Child Support Enforcement consistently collects $600 child support each month. The $170 TANF grant would be subtracted from the $600 child support collection leaving a difference of $430. The $300 TWP work (transportation) stipend would be subtracted from the $430 leaving a balance of $130. All of the TANF payments would have been recovered leaving zero (0) amount to be entered on the FLSA calculation screen for the TANF grant and TWP work (transportation) stipend.
