1212 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples TANF Coding exit limit increase (ELI) and non adult standard exit limit increase (NAS) Example 1: Brian is applying for TANF with his son. He works at Target earning $300.00 per month. The worker will need to determine if Brian’s income meets the countable and adjusted limit for a family size of 2 on the Adult Standard Chart or TANF Calculator. The worker determines that the countable income for 2 is $499 and Brian’s earnings of $300 is less, so the worker can now look at the adjusted limit of $416. The worker will use 50% of Brian’s earned income which is $150. Brian is under the adjusted as well and since he met all other TANF eligibility the worker will code UCMS with: Brian as an ‘AD’ in grant code with c/d ELI and n/r EML C 300.00. Example 2: Amber is applying for TANF with her two children. She is employed at Target and earning $300 per month. Amber has received TANF more than 60 months and does not meet any reasons for an extension. The worker will need to determine if Amber’s income meets the countable and adjusted limit for a family size of three on the No Adult Standard Chart or TANF Calculator. The worker determines that the countable income for three is $410 and Amber’s earnings of $300 is less, so the worker can now look at the adjusted limit of $334. The worker will use 50 percent of Amber’s earned income which is $150. Amber is under the adjusted as well and since she met all other TANF eligibility the worker will code UCMS with: Amber as a ‘NO’ in grant code with c/d NAS and n/r EML C 300.00. Example 3: Ambian is applying for TANF with her five daughters. She is self employed as a massage therapist. She turns in her tax documents and states that her income is consistent. Ambian’s taxes shows that she grosses $10,000 a year. The worker determines Ambian’s monthly gross is $833.33. Per the One or More Adult Standard Chart, Ambian’s monthly gross is less than the countable income limit of $1060. The worker will use 50% of Ambian’s self- employment which is $416.66. Ambian is under the adjusted as well and since she meets all other TANF eligibility the worker will code UCMS with: Ambian as an ‘AD’ in grant code with c/d ELI and n/r SLF C 833.33 Resource limits Individual program example(s) SNAP Example 1: Betty has resources of $17,000 in her savings account. Everyone in the SNAP filing group is receiving ERDC and is Categorically Eligible for SNAP (ECE). Because the filing group is Cat El, they are not subject to the resource test and the resources are disregarded when determining eligibility for SNAP.
