(b) Calculated Income from SNAP Exceeds LIEAP Income Limit If income total from the SNAP case causes the household to exceed the maximum income level, the caseworker will enter a deduction on the INCE panel CE Deduct line so the total income will equal the maximum income level. See example below: Household of 1 income from SNAP case is $6000, the maximum income level for a household of 1 is $5500. The caseworker takes the total income calculated ($6000) minus the maximum income level ($5500) equaling $500. The caseworker will enter the $500 on the INCE panel as a CE Deduct.

(c) Household Member Verification If the client reports a household member is no longer in their home and the absent member is still listed on the SNAP or medical case, the caseworker must verify with the client the date that person left the home. If verification is made by telephone the caseworker must narrate who they spoke with, date verified and the date that person moved out of the home. If verification is made by mail, documentation must exist in the client file with narrative explaining who was not included in the household. The income for the absent household member would not be counted for categorically eligible. On the SNAP member panel under REG is code 14, this verifies the individual is an ineligible student.
