Alert: Your Income may Reduce your FAIM payments

If your income increases or decreases, the amount of benefits you receive through the Families Achieving Independence in Montana (FAIM) program may increase or decrease.

If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), then only that portion of your SSI cash benefit that is contributed to household expenses, if any, is counted in determining your FAIM cash benefit.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI – Title II) benefits may, however, affect your TANF benefits.

Neither Food Stamps, nor Federal rental assistance subsidies affect your FAIM benefit levels. For a full list of the types of unearned income not counted in determining your FAIM benefit level, see FAIM Excluded Unearned Income.

If you have earnings for work done for therapeutic purposes in a Sheltered Workshop or Rehabilitation Center, those earnings are not counted. For a full list of the types of earnings not counted in determining your FAIM benefit level, see FAIM Excluded Earned Income.

This version of WorkWORLD does not calculate changes in your TANF benefit for different situations. You should contact the agency that administers your TANF program to find out the amount of increase or decrease, if any, in your benefits.

If you would like WorkWORLD to provide results in this situation, please let us know by going to our web site, http://www.workworld.org and contacting us.
