receives one paycheck in June with his new rate of pay. When the AG calculates the income received in June, it is still below 130% of the FPL. No changes are required to be reported at this point. When the AG calculates its income in July, it exceeds 130% of the FPL. The AG is required to report this by August 10. Limited Reporting Example 2: An AG consists of a mother and two children, who were initially approved with an income below 130% of the FPL. In the third month, the children’s father moves into the residence. At the end of each month, the AG must consider all income sources. The father’s income, when combined with the AG’s, exceeds 130% of the FPL for the original three-person AG. The AG must report this by the 10th day of the fourth month. The mother calls to report that the household’s combined income exceeds 130% of the FPL. The Worker determines the cause of the income change and must add the children’s father because he is required to be included in the AG. See Section 3.2.

Limited Reporting Example 3: A family of four receives SNAP based on a gross income above 130% of the FPL, but below 200% of the FPL. The AG is not required to report an income change unless the total gross income exceeds 200% of the FPL. The mother, who was self-employed, calls to report that she has discontinued her business due to lack of sales. The Worker updates the income and increases the family’s SNAP. The gross income of the AG is now below 130% of the FPL, so the AG is required to report if the total gross income of the AG exceeds 130% of the FPL. A few months later, the mother is hired by a local newspaper. After her first paycheck, the AG calculates the income received for the month and determines that it exceeds 130% of the FPL. The AG is required to report this by the 10th of the following month.
