Exclusions of allowable educational expenses which are earmarked by the institution, program or other grantor must be incurred or anticipated for the period the educational income is intended to cover, regardless of when the educational income is actually received.

If a student uses other income sources to pay for allowable educational expenses in months before the educational income is received, the exclusions to cover the expenses will be allowed when the educational income is received.

When the amounts used for allowable expense are more than amounts earmarked by the institution, school, program or other grantor, an exclusion will be allowed for amounts used over the earmarked amounts.

A student's total educational income exclusions granted under the provisions cannot exceed that student's total educational income. Educational assistance that would not already be excluded under SNAP may be excluded under South Carolina TANF rules.
