Example 1: A family of 5 in a Group III county with code F in Item 25
reports earned income of $1,152. The family pays no child care.
Step 1: The worker wants to process the case through ACM, allow the All Kids/FamilyCare Assist disregards:
| Gross Earned Income |
$1,152 |
| Employment Deduction |
-90 |
|
$1,062 |
| $30 and 1/3 EIE |
-374 |
| Total Countable Income |
$688 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$519 |
Step 2: Since the family is ineligible for Family Assist under the first method, recalculate manually using the 2nd method (the TANF employment deduction):
| Gross Earned Income |
$1,152 |
| Employment Deduction |
-768 |
| Total Countable Income |
$384 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$519 |
Since countable income is less than the Family Assist Standard, the family remains eligible for Family Assist. Process through IPACS leaving code F in Item 25.
Example 2: A family of 3 in a Group I county has an active Family
Assist case. At REDE, they have earned income of $360 and UI of $300. The family pays no child care.
Step 1: The worker first calculates manually allowing the All Kids/FamilyCare Assist employment deduction:
| Gross Earned Income |
$360 |
| Employment Deduction |
-90 |
| Sub-Total |
270 |
| $30 |
-30 |
| Sub-Total |
$240 |
| 1/3 of the remainder |
-80 |
| Countable Earned Income |
160 |
| Unemployment Comp. |
+300 |
| Total Countable Income |
$460 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$432 |
Step 2: Since the family is ineligible for Family Assist using the All Kids/FamilyCare Assist deduction, the worker recalculates using the TANF employment deduction:
| Gross Earned Income |
$360 |
| Employment Deduction |
-240 |
| Countable Earned Income |
120 |
| Unemployment Comp. |
+300 |
| Total Countable Income |
$420 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$432 |
Step 3: The family remains eligible for Family Assist. Process through ACM or IPACS, leaving code F in Item 25.
Example 3: A family of 2 in a Group II county has an active Family
Assist case. They report that they now have earned income of $990. Determine ongoing eligibility for Family Assist as follows:
Step 1: The worker first calculates using the TANF Cash 2/3 employment deduction:
| Gross Earned Income |
$990 |
| Employment Deduction |
-660 |
| Countable Earned Income |
$330 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$307 |
Step 2: Since countable income is greater than the Family Assist Standard using the TANF employment deduction, the worker recalculates using the 2nd method.
| Gross Earned Income |
$990 |
| Employment Deduction |
-90 |
| Sub-Total |
$900 |
| $30 |
-30 |
| Sub-Total |
$870 |
| 1/3 for the remainder |
-290 |
| Countable Earned Income |
$580 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$307 |
Step 3: Since the family's countable income is more than the Family Assist Standard under both budgeting methods, the family is no longer eligible for Family Assist. Change code F in Item 25 to code X. Update Item
30.
Example 4: A family of 3 in a Group II county has an active Family
Assist case. They report that they are now receiving UI of $898.
Step 1: Unearned Income: $898
Family Assist Standard: $417
Step 2: Since countable income is greater than the Family Assist Standard, the family is no longer eligible for Family Assist. The family does not receive extended medical since they do not have earnings or child
support.
Authorize All Kids/FamilyCare Assist for the family. Delete code F in Item 25.
