Yes income should be counted for both SNAP & Tanf. It should be counted the same as any other parentsor household members'  income living in the home with the children. The income should not be prorated but counted in its entirety as all other income is.

There needs to be changes in other areas of alien policy as well for Tanf. If they are illegal aliens they are not eligible for Tanf as they cannot meet categorical requirements. Any of their children born here in the US and are citizens can receive Tanf. This means the parent is not required to participate in View and there is no clock for this case, 24 or 60 months as there is no adult on the case. This means there is no time out for these children until they turn 18 but for childen of citizens who are on Tanf or if not on but are off the grant for any other violation or reason the parent is required to paricipate in View and both clocks are counting. The children of the US citizens will timeout when the 24 or 60 month clock runs out. This seems to be penalizing the US citizen and requiring more of them than of the illegal immigrants.
