I am in full support of this change. If our legal citizen families do not have the option to exclude household members, therefore prorating their income, our non-citizen applicants should be held to the same guideline. ALL income should be counted for ALL SNAP applicants regardless of status in this country. It doesn't seem right for citizens to be penalized and denied benefits for excess income and allow illegal or non-citizen families to receive benefits for their households based on proration of income. Thank you for addressing this policy!
