27.1	FOOD STAMP GROSS MONTHLY INCOME STANDARD	Food Stamp Table of Contents

1240-1-4-.27(a)

The gross monthly income standard is used only as an eligibility limiting factor; it is not used to determine the actual amount of the coupon allotment. This standard does not apply to households which contain an elderly or disabled member.

1. If the household’s gross monthly income (before deductions) exceeds the gross income standard for the number of persons in the household, the household is not eligible for food stamps.

2. If the household’s gross monthly income (before deductions) is equal to or less than the gross income standard for the number of persons in the household, the household may be eligible. At this point, the net income standard must be applied to the household’s net monthly income as instructed in 1240-1-4-.27-(b).
