The following are the steps to be undertaken when determining the household's benefit amount for Cash Assistance for the initial month of eligibility:
- A household's benefit for the initial month of certification will be based on the day of the month the household applies for benefits.
- Using the exact number of days in a month, household's will receive benefits prorated from the day of application to the end of the month.
- After arriving at the prorated benefit amount round down to the nearest whole dollar.
- No benefits are issued for initial month if the prorated allotment is less than $10.00.
