Food Assistance Program Income and Expenses

PURPOSE:

Department is amending the rule text to change the standard amount of the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA), Basic Utility Allowance (BUA) and Telephone Standard.

SUMMARY:

The Department is increasing the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA), Basic Utility Allowance (BUA) and the Telephone Standard used in the calculation of benefits for the Food Assistance Program. This rule is essential to statewide agency operations as it contains standards used in the determination of food assistance benefits for individuals and families in Florida.  These standards are determined by the Department through a federally required annual review submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for their approval of any adjustments.  Approval was received July 08, 2015, therefore rulemaking becomes necessary to implement these changes to Department policy.
