(N.D.A.C. 75-02-01.2-54)

 

All countable unearned income shall be considered available in the month in which it is received.  Unearned income is usually received at fixed intervals and at regularly scheduled dates. State or federal assistance payments such as SSI or Social Security received on a recurring basis shall be considered as having been received once a month, even if mailing cycles may cause two payments to be mailed in one month and none in another month.

 

When a member of the TANF household serves as a representative payee for federal benefits (i.e. SSI, Social Security, Veterans benefits, etc.) for a person or persons who are not members of the TANF household, the benefits paid to the representative payee on behalf of such individual(s) shall not be considered income available to the TANF household.
