27-90-01: Source Code for SNAP Income

Do not use Item 90 Source Codes on Category 08 (FS Only) cases.

Source Code 8

Use Source Code 8 on multiple unit Cash/SNAP or Medical/SNAP Payee cases. Enter the income of SNAP only members with Source Code 8. For income that is also used for Cash or Medical, enter the income separately without Source Code 8.

Example: Medical/SNAP Payee receives $200 Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIB) and 2 SNAP component unit members each receive $200 UIB. Code Item 90 as follows:

INCOME
CODE AMOUNT S NO. CODE AMOUNT S NO.
516 000000001
$200.00
516 000000002
$200.00
8
516 000000003
$200.00
8

Source Code 9

Enter Source Code 9 in Item 90 when the amount budgeted for SNAP is different than the amount budgeted for Cash or Medical. Income entered with Source Code 9 is budgeted only for SNAP.

When a type of income has different budgetable amounts for Cash or Medical and SNAP, enter the income type twice. For Cash or Medical, enter the income code and amount with no Source Code. For SNAP, enter the same income code a 2nd time with the amount used for SNAP and Source Code 9.

Example: The 16-year-old child who is not in school in a TANF/SNAP case is employed earning $100 a month. For TANF, the earnings of a child are exempt. However, for SNAP the earnings are not exempt. The worker codes Item 90 of Form 552 as follows:

INCOME
CODE AMOUNT S
802 001234567
$100.00
