Step 3: Because the amount made available to the AG after deployment is more, the additional amount is excluded. The $2,000 determined in Step 1 is counted as unearned income for the AG. Example 2: A member of the ANG receives notice that her unit has been activated and will be deployed. She is sent to Oklahoma for training. She is expected to be deployed to a combat zone but has not been told when. Her husband applies for SNAP when she leaves for training in March. She is expected to be gone for at least a year. The application is approved without her in the AG. She sends the AG a $1,200 military allotment monthly and this is counted as unearned income. The husband is also employed, and the AG is certified for 12 months. At the next redetermination, the husband reports that the wife was deployed to a designated combat zone sometime in the last four months and is now sending a $1,700 military allotment to the AG. The AG was not required to report this change during the certification period as the total income made available to the AG does not exceed the 130% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The $1,700 is compared to the $1,200 and the additional $500 is excluded. The pre- deployment military allotment amount of $1,200 is still counted as unearned income. Example 3: An AG receives a military allotment of $700 from her son who is stationed in Delaware. Once he is deployed to a designated combat zone, he decreases the military allotment to $600. Because the amount after deployment is less, the $600 is counted as unearned income for the AG.
