EXAMPLE #1Nondisqualified AG members are eligible during the IPV disqualification period.
John Doe, Jane Doe, and Mary Doe apply for food stamps on 2/1. John Doe is subject to a 12-month IPV disqualification which began on December 1 of the previous year and will end November 30. The AG's situation is as follows.
John: $500 monthly unearned income

The determination of the eligibility of the AG members who are not subject to IPV disqualification is done as follows.
Resource test: Jane and Mary have $1,000 in resources counted toward them. This does not exceed their resource limit.
Gross income test: Since neither Jane nor Mary is elderly or disabled and they are not categorically eligible, the gross income test is applicable. The gross income standard for a two-person AG is $1219,. Since John's income has to be counted toward Jane and Mary, the AG has $900 gross monthly income. Jane and Mary pass the gross income test.
Net income test: Since Jane and Mary are not categorically eligible, they are subject to the net income test for a two-person AG. The maximum net income a two-person AG may have is $938. The AG's net income is determined as follows.
