The amount of assistance which may be paid to an assistance unit is derived by the following computation:

1. (1) Add the countable earned and unearned income and other benefits available to or received by the assistance unit, except the deductions allowed in § 67:10:03:04;
2. (2) Subtract the sum from the applicable payment standard contained in § 67:10:05:03 or 67:10:05:05; and

3. (3) Round the resulting figure down to the nearest dollar.

   No payment is made to a recipient if the amount of the assistance payment, not considering recoupment amounts, is less than ten dollars.
