PURPOSE: This rule outline the methods used to determine the correct amount of cash payments in the various assistance programs.

Editor’s Note: The secretary of state has determined that the publication of this rule in its entirety would be unduly cumbersome or expensive. The entire text of the material referenced has been filed with the secretary of state. This material may be found at the Office of the Secretary of State or at the headquarters of the agency and is available to any interested person at a cost established by state law.

1. (1) The budgetary method is used in establishing eligibility for and the extent of need for public assistance. This requires the determination of the needs of the individual or groups of individuals who may be affected by the receipt of assistance, the determination of income and resources available to these persons and, if income and resources are not sufficient to provide a reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health, the planning of assistance to meet the deficit. (Original rule filed April 12, 1948, effective April 22, 1948.)

2. (2) Consideration of Available Income.

   1. (A) In Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) cases, all income of the following persons who are in the household shall be considered in determining whether the children (including stepchild and adopted child) are in need and, if so, the amount of the need-eligible children; natural or adoptive parents of one

3. (1) or more of the eligible children; any needy nonparent caretaker relative or related or unrelated guardian if they desire to be included in the assistance group and are eligible for inclusion; a stepparent, in accordance with Section 402(a)(31) of the Social Security Act; and any blood or adoptive brother or sister of an eligible child, if that brother or sister meets the conditions described in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 406(a) of the Social Security Act and is living in the home. This income shall be included notwithstanding Section 205(j) of the Social Security Act in the case of benefits provided under Title II. With respect to an eligible child who is living with a parent or legal guardian who is under age nineteen (19), the income of this minor’s own parents or legal guardians who are living in the home shall be included to the same extent that the income of a stepparent is included in accordance with 402(a)(31) of the Social Security Act. Income of all other persons in the household will be considered in the amount made available to the household.

   1. (B) In General Relief (GR) cases, a household budget including the total income and expenses of the applicant or recipient and his/her spouse and any children under age twenty-one (21) will be prepared. If the applicant or recipient is under twenty-one

4. (21) the income and expenses of his/her parent(s) living in the home shall be included. When a GR applicant or recipient is living with an employed specified relative as defined in 13 CSR 40-2.070, the specified relative’s income in excess of the poverty level will be budgeted.

   1. (C) In Aid to the Blind (AB) cases, all income of the applicant or recipient shall be considered in determining whether the applicant or recipient is in need and, if so, the amount of that need. The income of any other person in the household will be considered only in the amount made available to the AB applicant or recipient.
   2. (D) In computing the income of an applicant or recipient, or of the household of which s/he is a member, only that income which is available during the period under consideration shall be taken into account. To be considered as available, the income shall actually and presently exist (not to be a potential or remote income) and shall be sufficient to have some appreciable significance in meeting the immediate requirements of the applicant or recipient. The following will not be considered in determining eligibility: in Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) cases, the first fifty dollars ($50) of monthly child support payments; home produce raised or used by the applicant or recipient for consumption by the family and loans made under conditions which preclude their use for meeting current living costs. (Original rule filed April 12, 1948, effective April 22, 1948. Amended: Feb. 6, 1975, effective Feb. 16, 1975.)

5. (3) Each budget shall include provision in an amount per month as established by the Division of Family Services which represents the average of all individual need items formally budgeted (except day care expenses) for each size AFDC assistance group, each size GR assistance group and for the Supplemental Aid to the Blind (SAB) need eligibility budget and will be referred to as the AFDC, GR and SAB Consolidated Standard.

   1. (A) The Consolidated Standard for each size AFDC assistance group, each size GR assistance group and for the SAB budget shall be as follows:

      1. 1. AFDC: Assistance Consolidated Group Size

         12*

*For any AFDC assistance group larger than twelve (12), add one hundred sixteen dollars ($116) per individual.

1. 2. GR: Assistance Consolidated Group Size

   3*

Standard $ 393.00 $ 678.00 $ 846.00 $ 990.00 $1123.00 $1247.00 $1372.00 $1489.00 $1606.00 $1722.00 $1839.00 $1956.00

Standard $181.00 $256.00 $301.00 * For any GR assistance group larger than three (3), add forty-five dollars ($45) per individual

1. 3. When a GR assistance group includes

ADC recipients, the ADC Consolidated Standard will be used; and

1. 4. SAB: The Consolidated Standard of

three hundred dollars ($300) implemented February 16, 1976 will be used as a base amount. Beginning January 1, 1985, but including the Old Age Supplemental Disability Income (OASDI) increases of July 1982 and January 1984, whenever OASDI benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act are increased, the SAB Consolidated Standard also shall be increased. The amount of the increase shall be determined by adding the same percentage increase to the last Consolidated Standard amount as was added to Title II benefits and rounding the result to the next highest dollar. When an SAB claimant is a member of an ADC or GR assistance group, there shall be added one hundred dollars ($100) to the ADC or GR assistance group size Consolidated Standard. This amount represents the following special additional allowances: Food—twelve dollars ($12); clothing—eight dollars ($8); personal incidentals—eleven dollars ($11); shopping and errand expense—fifteen dollars ($15); laundry and dry cleaning expense—fifteen dollars ($15); household incidentals—ten dollars ($10); transportation—nine dollars ($9); preparation of food—five dollars ($5); and cost for a seeing eye dog or other guide—fifteen dollars ($15). (Original rule filed April 12, 1948, effective April 22, 1948. Amended: May 18, 1966, effective May 28, 1966. Amended: Oct. 20, 1967, effective Oct. 30, 1967. Amended: Dec. 2, 1968, effective Dec. 12, 1968. Amended: Dec. 22, 1975, effective Jan. 1, 1976.)

1. (4) Assistance recipients sixty-five (65) years of age or over will be expected to use fully the medical care benefits that are available to them through Title XVIII B of the federal Social Security law; however, the deductibles and coinsurance costs will be paid by the Division of Family Services by means of vendor payments. Assistance recipients over age sixty-five (65) who have exhausted their Title XVIII benefits and eligible assistance recipients under age sixty-five (65) will be eligible for vendor payments in their behalf for the medical care benefits as specified in section 208.151, RSMo; this includes benefits for eligible recipients who are in a state mental institution or a state tuberculosis hospital. (Original rule filed April 12, 1948, effective April 22, 1948. Amended: May 18, 1966, effective May 28, 1966. Amended: Oct. 20, 1967, effective Oct. 30, 1967. Amended: Sept. 24, 1970, effective Oct. 4, 1970. Amended: May 7, 1971, effective May 17, 1971. Amended: June 18, 1971, effective June 28, 1971. Amended: Feb. 6, 1975, effective Feb. 16, 1975. Amended: Dec. 22, 1975, effective Jan. 1, 1976.)
2. (5) In the payment of public assistance benefits, the amount shall be rounded to the nearest dollar interval. For all benefits other than AFDC, payment amounts ending in less than fifty cents (50¢) shall be lowered to the nearest dollar and amounts ending in fifty cents (50¢) or over shall be increased to the nearest dollar. In AFDC cases, payment amounts will always be lowered to the nearest dollar. If the determined need results in a grant of less than ten dollars ($10) in AFDC cases, no cash payment will be made. (Original rule filed April 12, 1948, effective April 22, 1948.)

3. (6) Earned Income Exemption—AFDC.

   1. (A) In determining need and amount of grant for applicants or recipients of AFDC, the following earned income exemptions will apply and these amounts will be disregarded in determining the amount of income available to meet the family’s needs:

      1. 1. All of the earned income of any child

receiving AFDC will be exempted if the child is a full-time student or is a part-time student who is not a full-time employee;

1. 2. The first ninety dollars ($90) of the

gross earned income will be disregarded from employment;

1. 3. An amount equal to thirty dollars

($30) of the total of earned income not already disregarded in the preceding provisions of this subsection (6)(A), for an eight (8)-month period following the fourth consecutive month of the disregard provided for in this paragraph, but excluding, for purposes of this subsection, earned income derived from participation on a project maintained under the programs established by Section 432(b)(2) and (3) of the Social Security Act;

1. 4. An amount equal to the first thirty

dollars ($30) of the total of earned income not already disregarded in the preceding provisions of paragraph (6)(A)3. plus one-third (1/3) of the remainder but excluding, for purposes of this subsection, earned income derived from participation on a project maintained under the programs established by Section 432(b)(2) and (3) of the Social Security Act; and

1. 5. An amount equal to expenditures for

care in that month shall be disregarded from earned income for a dependent child, or an incapacitated individual living in the same 13 CSR 40-2

home as the dependent child, receiving AFDC and requiring care for that month, to the extent that the amount for each dependent child or incapacitated individual does not exceed one hundred seventy-five dollars ($175) for children age two (2) and over or two hundred dollars ($200) for children under two (2) years of age.

1. (B) The disregards applied against earned income outlined in subsection (6)(A) shall not be applied to the earned income of any person who—

   1. 1. Terminated his/her employment or

reduced his/her earned income without good cause within the period (of not less than thirty (30) days) preceding that month as may be prescribed by the secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS);

1. 2. Refused without good cause, within

the thirty (30)-day period or longer period prescribed by the secretary of the United States Department of HHS, to accept employment in which s/he is able to engage which is offered through the public employment offices of the state, or is otherwise offered by an employer if the offer of the employer is determined by the Division of Family Services or agency designated by the Division of Family Services, after notification by the employer, to be a bona fide offer of employment; and

1. 3. Failed without good cause to make a

timely report to the Division of Family Services of earned income received in that month.

1. (C) The disregard applied against earned income, as provided for—

   1. 1. In paragraph (6)(A)1., shall be

applied when determining need for up to six (6) months within the calendar year of January through December and after that shall not be applied if the income without applying this disregard was in excess of the standard of need;

1. 2. In paragraph (6)(A)3., shall not be

applied if the income without applying this disregard was in excess of the standard of need unless the person received AFDC in one (1) or more of the four (4) months preceding that month and this disregard has not already been applied to his/her income for four (4) consecutive months while s/he was receiving AFDC. If this disregard provided for in paragraph (6)(A)3. has been applied for four (4) consecutive months, the disregard shall not be applied for as long as the person continues to receive AFDC and shall not apply until the expiration of a period of twelve (12) consecutive months during which the person is not a recipient of AFDC; and

1. 3. In paragraph (6)(A)4., shall be avail-

able only for the eight (8)-month period following the fourth consecutive month of the disregard provided for in paragraph (6)(A)3. If the eight (8)-month period for the disregard provided for in paragraph (6)(A)4. has expired, the disregard shall not be applied for as long as the person continues to receive AFDC and shall not apply until the expiration of a period of twelve (12) consecutive months during which the person is not a recipient of AFDC.

1. (7) No family shall be eligible for AFDC if, for that month, the total income of the family (other than AFDC benefits) without application of the earned income disregards provided for in paragraphs (6)(A)2.–5. and for up to six (6) months within the calendar year of January through December with application of the earned income disregard provided for in paragraph (6)(A)1. exceeds one hundred eighty-five percent (185%) of Missouri’s standard of need for a family of the same composition.

2. (8) A standard amount for expenses of producing earned income will be budgeted for each member of the GR and SAB assistance group who has earned income to include allowances for all federal and state income tax and Retirement, Survivor’s and Disability Insurance (RSDI) withholdings. An additional standard for costs of union dues, extra food, clothing, personal expense, transportation to and from work and other employment connected personal incidental costs will also be budgeted for each member of the GR and SAB assistance group who has earned income. The attached standard amounts, in direct relationship to varying increments of gross monthly earnings and number of dependents, will be budgeted. Only the standard amount for expense of producing earned income will be budgeted except that if a person who has earned income can verify that s/he had expenses that exceed the standard amount included for union dues, extra food, clothing, personal expense, transportation to and from work or other employment connected personal incidental costs, these expenses shall be allowed as an expense of producing income instead of the standard amount for these expenses.
