40 Section 227 Change #1-2026 February 1, 2026 North Carolina intends to exercise its State discretion under 7 CFR 273.11(c)(3)(i) and 7 CFR 273.11(c)(3)(ii) to standardize income counting for all ineligible non-citizens by using prorated income for ALL purposes (gross income test, expedited screening, and benefit calculation). After systems changes can be completed, NC will adopt a uniform policy to standardize treatment of income across all ineligible non-citizens categories for the purposes of administrative simplification and error reduction.
