The State Department has developed a payment standard which varies by family size. The standard must be used in determining financial need in all cases. The standard based on the amount of funds available, and is used uniformly throughout the State. The countable income, if any, of the assistance group is deducted from the payment standard to determine the entitlement amount of assistance.
