I think that since we are a family of 3, if we start making over 1300 a month combined, then I have to let them know so they can adjust our food stamp amount. Next month the $ amount will change, since we are adding another family member. Originally, November we were supposed to have our renewal appointment.
Anyways, so right now I have 1 family I was making 400 a month from, and one I was making somewhere near 500 from. So I wasn't close to the 1300. Well the one family I was making 400 from I'm going to be making more, like last month it was 650 or so, and this month it will be closer to 750. I also will be getting more from the food program since they'll be here more. So that means I'm going to be closer to that 1300 than I was before.
But my question is this... when I report my income to DHS, I will obviously include the income from both families. BUT do I include the reimbursement $ from the food program? (which would be another $300 roughly per month)
And am I supposed to subtract my rent/utilities/other bills from my monthly income... For example, say my t/s is 40% and my rent is $800 a month, do I subtract $320 from my monthly income when I report to DHS?
(Does that make sense?? It does to me but I have a hard time explaining it, I think)
Thanks for the help anyone can offer me!
