     256J.35 Amount of assistance payment. 


    Except as provided in paragraphs (a) to (d), the amount of 
 an assistance payment is equal to the difference between the 
 transitional standard, shared household standard, or the 
 Minnesota family wage level in section 256J.24, whichever is 
 less, and countable income. 


    (a) When MFIP-S eligibility exists for the month of 
 application, the amount of the assistance payment for the month 
 of application must be prorated from the date of application or 
 the date all other eligibility factors are met for that 
 applicant, whichever is later.  This provision applies when an 
 applicant loses at least one day of MFIP-S eligibility. 


    (b) MFIP-S overpayments to an assistance unit must be 
 recouped according to section 256J.38, subdivision 4. 


    (c) An initial assistance payment must not be made to an 
 applicant who is not eligible on the date payment is made. 


    (d) An individual whose needs have been otherwise provided 
 for in another state, in whole or in part by county, state, or 
 federal dollars during a month, is ineligible to receive MFIP-S 
 for the month.
