H FSAD Eligibility Determination
The income eligibility tests performed on
FSAD include the
NA Gross Income Test for regular NA budgetary units, and the
NA Net Income Test for both regular and
special category budgetary units.
FSAD also completes the final allotment test, which compares Allotment Income to the applicable
Thrifty Food Plan amount.
AZTECS performs the following tasks to determine eligibility for the NA income tests:
●Totals all countable income
●Accumulates all countable NA expenses and applies these deductions to the total income as required by NA policy
●Compares the resulting calculation to the following program limits for the final determination:
Thrifty Food Plan amount
●When
NA deductions exceed the amount of countable income, the deduction fields on FSAD do not display the NA deduction maximum
When either of the two first tests fail, AZTECS does not calculate the allotment and displays zeros in the remaining amount items.
