Proration of First Month Benefits

To prorate the benefit/grant amount for the number of days remaining in the month, use the chart on the following page and follow these steps:

  1. In column entitled “Calendar Date,” find the date of eligibility.
  2. Scan across to the column heading for the number of days in the current month. This decimal figure is the portion of the month for which the applicant is eligible.
  3. Multiply the total monthly benefit/grant amount by the decimal figure to determine the benefit/grant amount for which client is eligible for the remainder of month.

Note: For Food Stamps, drop the cents.
