Counting of income for SNAP benefits.
 

If we are counting the parents in all SNAP cases as required HH members, then we have to count the income the same.  Even those one may be ineligible they are still the parent that purchases and prepares the food for the child and one would assume also eating the meals with the child(ren) - Income under this situation must be counted the same as with our legal eligible HH - who also purchase & prepare for their child(ren).
