775-3          185% STANDARD TEST

The 185% Standard test is the first prospective income test.  The assistance unit's gross countable income is totalled and compared to the applicable 185% Standard listed in Addendum 2.

If the assistance unit has countable income equal to or less than their 185% Standard , they "pass".  If the assistance unit has $0.01 or more countable income than their 185% Standard , they "fail".

Note:

Deductions from income (i.e., work incentive deductions and deductions for child support payments made) are not allowed in calculating the amount of income used in the 185% Eligibility test.
