mixed-household can have benefit reductions of 25 percent or more of the amount they
are eligible to receive under the regular Program (commonly called the 5/10/25 percent
benefit reduction requirement).
In developing the 5/10/25 percent benefit reduction requirement above, the
Department recognized that small reductions in monthly allotments could result in
changes exceeding this threshold. Consequently, the Department proposed to disregard
benefit reductions of $10 or less from this requirement. Several commenters want to
increase the amount of the benefit reduction from $10 to $25. The Department believes
the $10 disregard maintains the appropriate balance between State flexibility and
safeguarding the nutritional needs of participating households. Any reduction, regardless
of how small, limits a household's access to a nutritious, healthy diet. Since benefit loss
under a SFSP is permanent, unless the household becomes ineligible to participate in a
SFSP or the SFSP is terminated, disregards above $10 could severely impact a
household's ability to meet its nutritional needs. To prevent this, the Department plans to
maintain the benefit reduction disregard at the $10 limit.
A commenter suggested that the Department substitute the 5/10/25 percent benefit
reduction for a rule that would limit the reductions in benefits to mixed-TANF
households by no greater percentage amount, and to no greater proportion of households,
than it reduces benefits to pure-TANF households. Legislation governing the SFSP
requires the Department to approve any State plan for the operation of an SFSP so long as
the plan does not increase costs to the Federal government and it complies with the
