Both gross earned and unearned income are considered in determining the eligibility of benefit groups who apply for the Family Independence Program (FIP). Certain income exclusions and disregards and resource limits and exclusions apply.
Gross monthly earned and unearned income of the FIP benefit group must not exceed 185% of the need standard by family size. The gross income limit is an initial screen of eligibility for FIP assistance.
Countable income is total income remaining after exclusions and disregards have been applied.
Earned income may be derived from an applicant's or recipient's own employment, such as a business enterprise, or farming; or derived from wages or salary received as an employee.
Income received by individuals employed on a contractual basis may be prorated over the period of the contract; and intermittent income may be prorated over the period covered by the income.
In family groups living together, income of the spouse is considered available for the budget group, and income of the parent(s) is considered available for dependent children under age 19.
To determine the amount of the payment for the benefit group, subtract countable income from the full need standard and multiply the result (deficit) by the ratable reduction (currently 32.90% for the period October 2002 through September 2003).
