388.5 Determining food assistance benefit levels.
The amount of benefits to which a household is entitled under the food assistance program
is calculated as follows:
(a) Calculate benefits in accordance with section 387.15 of this Title
as if all members of the household, including any non-citizens eligible for the food
assistance program, were eligible for federal food stamp benefits.
(b) Calculate benefits in accordance with section 387.15 of this Title
for all members of the household eligible for federal food stamp benefits. For purposes of
this paragraph, members of the household eligible for the food assistance program are
treated as ineligible aliens and budgeted in accordance with section 387.16(c)(2) of this
Title.
(c) Subtract the benefits calculated in subdivision (b) of this section
from the benefits calculated in subdivision (a) of this section. The remainder is the
amount of benefits a household is eligible to receive in the food assistance program.
