Categorically eligible households automatically pass all asset and income tests.
- Households in which all members are in receipt of TANF and/or SSI with a member that is DD or DF are considered non-categorically eligible households. These households automatically pass the asset test but must meet the 130% gross income test and the 100% net income test.
TANF I & R households automatically pass the asset test but must meet the 200% gross income test and the 100% net income test.
- TANF I & R households that have a member that is DI or DW must meet the asset test, however, only the disqualified member’s assets are counted toward the asset limit. These households must also meet the 200% gross income test and the 100% net income test.
- Households in which all members receive TANF I & R with a member that is DD or DF are considered non-TANF I&R households. These households must meet the asset test, considering all household members assets along with the 130% gross income test and 100% net income test.
- TANF I & R household with elderly and/or disabled members that fail the 200% gross income test must be tested a second time under regular SNAP rules. Regular SNAP rules require these households to pass the asset test, considering all household members assets and the 100% net income tests only. If the household fails the asset test, the worker must deny the application using the F208 – Excess Assets. If the household passes the asset test but fails the net income test, the worker must deny the application using the F207 – Excess Income.
