Counting income of illegal aliens
 

We are in support of revising the existing SNAP policy that allows the income to be pro-rated because of non-citizen status.  These HH should be treated consistent with policy for citizens.  The income should not be pro-rated because of illegal status.  Income needs to be counted dollar for dollar, no exceptions.
