22 VAC 40-601 SNAP Regulations Regarding Counting Ineligible Immigrant Income
 

We support the proposed changes so that income will be treated uniformaly across all citizen and immigrant households instead of using a "pro rata" formula for immigrant households.

This regulation is and has been supported by the League's Financial Services committee as another step towards aligning polices across the Medicaid, SNAP and TANF programs and ensuring all of the income calculations are consistent for any individual we serve through our agencies.
