Example1. The FTG consists of Mom, Dad and 2 sons, Jeff and John. John is 16, a full time student, earning $75.00 per month at a part-time job. His income is disregarded. The FTG does not meet any of the criteria to be tested using FFU logic. |

Example2. The FTG consists of Mom, Dad and 2 sons, Charlie and Fred. Fred is 17 and is not currently enrolled in school. He has a part-time job that pays him $85.00 per month. The income is not disregarded since Fred is not enrolled in school. However, because we will disregard $90.00 of his earned income, there is no budgeted income from a child counted in the eligibility determination. The FTG would not meet the criteria to be tested using FFU. |
