20. In determining eligibility for assistance, the first $100 of total child or child and spousal support payments received by the assistance unit is to be disregarded.* In calculating the initial month's payment(s) the $100 disregard is only to be applied if it is anticipated that $100 will not be collected by DCSE subsequent to case approval (the date that the case is certified and authorized in the VaCMS). If it is anticipated that at least $100 will be collected, the support disregard is not to be applied when calculating the initial payment since the unit will receive a disregard payment from DCSE. If the amount that is anticipated to be collected by DCSE after case approval is less than $100, disregard an amount from the support received prior to case approval that will ensure the total support disregard for the month does not exceed $100. For ongoing cases, DCSE will send each assistance unit a disregard payment of the first $100 of child support received each month. The $100 disregard is only applicable to current child/spousal support payments received each month.
