Benefit Calculation

The following are the steps to be undertaken when determining the household's benefit amount for Food Assistance:

  1. Determine the maximum Food Assistance allotment for the household size by using the Food Stamp Allotment Chart
  2. Multiply the household's net monthly income(as previously determined by the net income test) by 30%
  3. Subtract the amount determined from step 2 from the Maximum Net Monthly Allotment determined in step 1.
