Migrant or seasonal farmworker households may have little or no income at the time of application and may be in need of immediate food assistance, even though they receive income at some other time during the month of application. The following procedures shall be used to determine when migrant or seasonal farmworker households in these circumstances may be considered destitute and, therefore, entitled to expedited service and special income calculation procedures. Destitute households shall have their eligibility determined by computing either their gross or net income, as appropriate, and comparing either the gross or net income to the corresponding income eligibility standard. Households other than migrant or seasonal farmworker households shall not be considered destitute.
