Section 660-2-2-.27 - Need Requirement-General

To be eligible based on need, the family must not have total net countable income equal to or in excess of the appropriate payment standard subject to the minimum payment regulations of Rule No. 660-2-2-.10. Eligibility is determined prospectively. Either of two budgeting procedures prospective or retrospective is used to determine the amount of payment. Prospective budgeting means determining the amount of payment for a month based on the best estimate of income and other relevant circumstances which will exist in that month. Retrospective budgeting means determining the amount of payment for a month based on circumstances (child support received) which existed two months ago. Retrospective budgeting applies only to the budgeting of child support income following the prospective determination of eligibility. All other income is budgeted prospectively following the prospective determination of eligibility.
