VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT Of SOCIAL SERVICES BENEFIT ALLOTMENT

10/25 VOLUME V, PART XXIII, PAGE 1

A. CALCULATING BENEFIT ALLOTMENTS

The tables on the following pages show the appropriate benefits for household sizes 1 through 10.

For household sizes 1 and 2, $24 is the minimum allotment for all eligible households, including categorically eligible households. The maximum monthly net income does not apply to categorically eligible households, however.

For household sizes 3 through 10, the allotment tables reflect the maximum benefit allotment to the $1 minimum allotment. NOTE: ONLY CATEGORICALLY ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ALLOTMENTS WHERE THE HOUSEHOLD'S NET INCOME EXCEEDS THE NET INCOME MAXIMUM. For example, for a 4-person household, the maximum net income is $2,680. The allotment offered at that level of income is $190. The rest of the allotment table, from the net income of $2,681 through $3,310, the last income figure, for which an allotment is available, applies to categorically eligible households only.

To calculate issuances to households of more than ten persons, use the following formula:

1. Maximum Benefit Allotment. If there are more than ten household members, add $218 to the monthly maximum benefit allotment.

2. Maximum Monthly Net Income. If there are more than ten household members, add $459 to the monthly maximum net income. NOTE: Maximum monthly net income limits do not apply to categorically eligible households.
