1 3 . 7 D E S T I T U T E H O U S E H O L D S Migrant or seasonal farmworker households may have little or no income at the time of application and may be in need of immediate food assistance, even though they receive income at some other time during the month of application. The following procedures will be used to determine when migrant or seasonal farmworker households in these circumstances may be considered destitute and, therefore, entitled to expedited service and special income calculation procedures. Households other than migrant or seasonal farmworker households will not be classified as destitute. Migrant or seasonal farmworker households whose only income for the month of application was received prior to the date of application, and was from a terminated source, will be considered destitute households and will be provided expedited service. (A) If income is received on a monthly or more frequent basis, it will be considered as coming from a terminated source if it will not be received again from the same source during the balance of the month of application or during the following month. (B) If income is normally received less often than monthly, the non-receipt of income from the same source in the balance of the month of application or in the following month is inappropriate to determine whether or not the income is terminated. For example, if income is received on a quarterly basis (e.g., on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1), and the household applies in mid-January, the income should not be considered as coming from a terminated source merely because no further payments will be received in the balance of January or in February. The test for whether or not this household's income is terminated is whether the income is Household size Gross Monthly Income Eligibility Standards (130 percent of poverty level) Net Monthly Income Eligibility Standards (100 percent of poverty level) Maximum allotment amounts 1 $1696 $1305 $298 2 $2292 $1763 $546 3 $2888 $2221 $785 4 $3483 $2680 $994 5 $4079 $3138 1183 6 $4675 $3596 $1421 7 $5271 $4055 1571 8 $5867 $4513 $1789 Each additional member $596 $459
