I. Purpose
This directive advises local districts of a change in the percentage of the earned income disregard (EID) in the temporary assistance (TA) budgeting process. Annually on June 1, as required by Social Services Law (SSL) Section 131-a (8)(a)(iii), this percentage must be adjusted up or down to reflect the change in the most recently issued poverty guidelines of the United States Bureau of the Census. Additionally, this directive also updates the thresholds of the Poverty Level Income Test.
