DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-SSI INCOME EXCLUSIONS 2/17 CHAPTER H, PAGE 11 STEPS ACTIONS Step 1 Determine the AG payment amount allowing all appropriate exclusions except the Guardianship Fee Exclusion. The result will be considered the amount of AG income the guardian/conservator is managing. Step 2 Add the AG amount determined in Step 1 to the gross amount of all other managed income. The result will be the total amount of managed income. Step 3 Multiply the total managed income as determined in Step 2 by the percentage specified in the court order. The result will be the total guardianship fee. Step 4 Recompute the individual’s AG payment. Subtract the guardianship fee from the net countable income. See Chapter J for Grant Computation and issuance. 8.2. Verification Obtain a signed and dated statement from the guardian/conservator and a copy of the court order.
