TANF and SNAP

Cash gifts and contributions count as unearned income unless they:

are made by a private, nonprofit organization on the basis of need; and

total $300 or less per household in a federal fiscal quarter. The federal fiscal quarters are January to March, April to June, July to September, and October to December.

If these contributions exceed $300 in a quarter, the excess amount counts as income in the month received.

Exception: Contributions from noncertified household members are budgeted according to policy explained in A-1326.1.1 , Contributions from Noncertified Household Members.
