TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP 640.1.3 Income Source Terminates in the Application Month When the application reflects a specific source of income terminated in the application month, budget only the actual income received or expected to be received in the application month. Budget zero income from the terminated source to ongoing benefit months. EXAMPLE: Joe applied for TANF and SNAP benefits on September 15th. He reported his job ceased on August 30th and received his final pay on September 5th in the amount of $200.00. As the income ceased in the application month and only the check for $200 is expected to be received, the budgetable income for the application month will be $200.00 and zero income will be budgeted for October ongoing. 640.1.4 New and Terminated Income Exists in the Application Month When the application reflects both new and terminated income will be received in the application month, only the actual income from the terminated source and new income source will be budgeted to the application month’s benefits. Budget a full month’s projected best estimate from the new source of income to ongoing benefit months. EXAMPLE: Sue applied for SNAP on October 30th and reported her job ended on October 3rd. She received a check for $300 on October 1st and received her final pay in the amount of $200 on October 15th. She also reported she began receiving UIB benefits in the amount of $200 per week and expects to receive two checks in the month of October. She received her first check on October 23rd and expects to receive a second check on October 30th. As Sue has both terminating and new income with less than a full month’s income received from either source, only the actual income received or expected to be received will be budgeted in the application month of October. Budgetable income for the month of October is $500 earned income from the terminated job and $400 unearned income from the new UIB claim. A projected BE for November ongoing will be $200 (weekly benefit) X 4.3 for a total of $860.00.
