When a family becomes eligible for Family Assist, enter code F in Item 25.
Example 1: An FS REDE application is received for a family of 2 in a
Group I county. Item 25 is blank. The Family Assist Standard is $318. The family reports earned income of $810. ACM determines eligibility as follows:
| Gross Earned Income |
$810 |
| Employment Deduction |
-90 |
| Sub-Total |
$720 |
| $30 |
-30 |
| Sub-Total |
$690 |
| 1/3 of the remainder |
-230 |
| Countable Income |
$460 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$318 |
The family is eligible for All Kids/FamilyCare Assist and no further action is needed. The family is not eligible for Family Assist. Process the case through ACM.
Example 2: A family of 4 in a Group II county reports that their earned
income has decreased to $510. Item 25 is blank. ACM determines eligibility as follows:
| Gross Earned Income |
$510 |
| Employment Deduction |
- 90 |
| Sub-Total |
$420 |
| $30 |
-30 |
| Sub-Total |
$390 |
| 1/3 of the remainder |
-130 |
| Countable Income |
$260 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$461 |
Since the family is eligible for All Kids/FamilyCare Assist, compare countable income to the Family Assist Standard. Since countable income is less than the Family Assist Standard, the family is eligible for Family Assist. Process the
case through ACM. Then enter code F in Item 25 through IPACS.
