§ 10:90-3.7 Computing prorated cash assistance benefits for WFNJ TANF/GA recipients

(a) The county or municipal agency shall prorate the initial cash assistance benefit or any other cash benefit that is issued for less than one month. The prorated benefit shall be determined by counting all income which has been received or which will be received in the month of application, and applying the appropriate disregards (see N.J.A.C. 10:90- 3.8) to the earned income. The countable income shall be subtracted from the appropriate monthly maximum benefit payment level (Schedule II, IV or V located at N.J.A.C. 10:90-3.3, 3.5 and 3.6, as appropriate) and the result prorated by multiplying that amount by the factor appropriate for the date of application in the proration table below. If the result is not a whole dollar amount, the amount shall be rounded to the next lower whole dollar. 1. The effective date of the initial cash assistance benefit shall be the date of the application if the client was eligible on that date. If the client was found eligible on any other date, the initial grant shall be the date eligibility was established. Proration Table for Initial/Partial Assistance Payments
