Example 3: On September 5, a timely report is received that on that date a sibling of the child(ren) in the assistance unit moved back into the home. The child being added has unearned income of $30 per month. Eligibility for the child is established on September 13. However, the payment is prorated for the period beginning September 5 (26 days), the date the required unit member entered the home.

Current payment
