Instructions for use of Prorations Tables for TANF and GA:
1. After the semimonthly grant is known, the grant for a period less than 14 days may be determined directly from the tables provided the grant is less than $100. If the grant is $101 or more it will be necessary to add two prorations as follows:
EXAMPLE
Problem: Prorate $124.30 for 12 days
Solution: Prorate $100 for 12 days = $78.90
Prorate $24.30 for 12 days = $19.20
Answer: $98.10
2. The table is read by choosing the table for the appropriate number of days, going down the far-left column to the actual whole dollar amount, then moving to the right to the column showing the actual cents in the semimonthly grant.
3. In these tables, amounts are multiples of ten cents. Therefore, the semimonthly grant must be adjusted to the nearest multiple of ten cents before referring to the table. Calculated grants ending in one, two, three or four cents amounts will be adjusted to the next lower ten cent amount; in five, six, seven, eight or nine cents amounts, to the next highest ten cent amount.
4. The prorated grants tables have also been adjusted to the nearest multiple of ten cents so that the actual amount of the prorated check may be read directly from the table.
5. The period covered by a prorated grant amount will begin with the effective date of the grant and ends a date not later than the day before the next regular payment date.
6. A grant for a full semimonthly payment period will always be he regular semimonthly grant even though this period may be more or less than 15 days.
7. A grant for part of a full semimonthly may not exceed the regular semimonthly grant even though the period converted is more than 15 days.
8. A grant for part of a full semimonthly payment period may not exceed the regular semimonthly grant even though the period covered is more than 15 days. If the period covered is less than 15 days, the table will be used to compute the amount of the grant.
9. A grant for more than a fully semimonthly payment period will be equal to the sum of the grant for the number of days preceding the next regular payment day plus one regular semimonthly grant. Prorations for more than one semimonthly payment period will be obtained by adding the proration to the semimonthly grant.
