4.4.3.C Determining the Amount of the Benefit To determine the SNAP allotment, find the countable income and the maximum benefit allotment for the AG in Appendix A. One- and two-person AGs who meet the gross and net income test or who are categorically eligible, as defined in Section 1.4.17.C automatically receive the minimum SNAP benefit, unless it is a prorated benefit. See Appendix D, SNAP and WV WORKS Proration Table. No benefits are issued to any AG eligible for an initial, prorated amount less than $10. See Chapter 1 for proration requirements. The Worker will determine the benefit amount by using the following method. The eligibility system also uses this method. Computation of Benefit Amount Example Multiply net income by 30% (Round up) $ 554 Net monthly income X .30 $166.20 = $167 Subtract 30% of net income as calculated above from the maximum monthly benefit for the AG size $994 Maximum allotment for four - 167 30% of net income $827 SNAP benefit for a full month 4.4.4 SPECIAL SITUATIONS 4.4.4.A Categorical Eligibility Although there is no gross or net income test, countable SNAP income for the purposes of determining level of benefit is calculated the same way it is for all other SNAP AGs. See Chapter 1 for Categorical Eligibility information.
