Conn. Agencies Regs. § 17-12a-28 - Standard deduction and excess shelter/dependent care deduction in the food stamp program
A standard deduction of ninety-eight ($98) dollars per household per month is used in the computation of available income in calculating the amount of Food Stamp benefits to be issued.
The total excess shelter/dependent care deduction shall not exceed one hundred thirty-nine ($139) dollars a month.
These changes directly affect sections of the Department of Income Maintenance Food Stamp Manual, and those sections of the Manual are being revised accordingly.
