In the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamp Program), households with countable earned income are eligible for the Earned Income Deduction.
The Earned Income Deduction allows 20% of gross earned countable income to be deducted when calculating net income. Income that is excluded or that is unearned is not used when calculating 20% of gross earned countable income.
NOTE: This deduction will be calculated within WorkWORLD for you based on the information you provide.
The Earned Income Deduction is used to calculate your household's net income, and in fact, it reduces your household's net income. By reducing the amount of net income that is counted when determining whether a household meets the net income test or when calculating the level of benefits for a household, this deduction allows households to have higher incomes and still qualify for benefits. In addition, it allows a household to receive higher benefits. Moreover, the Earned Income Deduction can reduce the extent to which benefits are reduced as earnings increase, thereby providing an incentive for households to increase their earnings.
