605-7 H(4)(a) PFD for Ongoing Cases - Adding a New Member to HH During PFD Season: When FS Benefits Decrease
Adding a New Household Member During PFD – Decrease in FS Benefits:
On September 23 a household with mom and one child reports dad has returned to the household. Mom reports he is working at Wal-Mart part-time and receives $600 per month. The ET takes action to add him to the case on October 1. The original FS benefit amount was $433. After doing a manual budget using the household size of 3, the ET has concluded the household would be entitled to $406. Because the benefit for October decreases and we do not have adverse action, dad is added to the case beginning November 1.
