ARSD 67:12:06:39. Computing assistance payment after initial month of assistance

After the initial month of assistance, the department shall compute the amount of each subsequent payment retrospectively and shall base the amount on the income received in the corresponding budget month. Noncontinuous income received before the month of application or previously considered under § 67:12:06:38 may not be counted again. The needs and income of an individual determined eligible for families with dependent children assistance and added to an existing assistance unit must be considered prospectively. Computing the amount of assistance prospectively is based on the caseworker's best estimate of income and circumstances that will exist in that calendar month.
