To calculate the maximum SAIH payment:

1. Compute the a/b’s total countable monthly income (TCMI). This is the

amount of countable income after all allowable deductions and

exclusions. See SA-3210, Income for instructions on calculating

TCMI.

2. Subtract the a/b’s TCMI from the applicable SA maintenance amount.

* The SA Basic Maintenance Amount is $1,467.

* The SA Enhanced Maintenance Amount is $1,862.

The remainder is the maximum allowable SAIH payment.

3. When determining the SAIH payment amount, always round to the

nearest whole dollar $.49 or less, round down; $.50 or more, round

up.

The SAIH payment added to the TCMI is the maintenance amount.

Example:

SSI Recipient Non-SSI Recipient SA Basic Maintenance Amt $1,467 $1,467 Subtract TCMI -$994 -$999.75 Balance $473 $467.25 Maximum SAIH payment $473 $467.25 Round to nearest dollar $473 $467 Maximum SAIH payment $473 $467

C. Partial SAIH Payments

If an applicant applies after the first day of the month, or becomes

eligible after the first day of any given month during the application

processing time frame, the applicant is entitled to a partial payment

for that month effective the date of application, or effective the date

eligibility began. All eligibility factors must be met.

See the Example below. Do not consider the applicant’s income for

a partial pay month.

Determine the partial payment as follows:

1. Determine the number of days in the month of application.
