After the department determines the assistance unit's countable monthly gross income, each employed member of the assistance unit whose earned income is considered when determining the assistance grant is allowed a standard earned income deduction of $90 plus 20 percent of the individual's remaining gross earned income. If the individual is self-employed, the deduction is calculated after the allowable deductions specified in § 67:10:03:12. The standard earned income deduction may not exceed the earnings.
