DISCUSSION:
This memorandum introduces a new earned income code “CT - Census Income – Temporary” in FAMIS. Missouri has received a waiver to exclude earned income from temporary employment in the 2010 Census through September 30, 2010 for the Food Stamp Program.
This waiver allows participants to gain work experience as well as much needed income in the current economy without the loss of Food Stamp benefits. This income is also excluded for the Child Care Program.
Effective March 1, 2010, this code will be available in FAMIS for temporary Census income. It is important to code this income source correctly for reporting purposes. On the Income (FMX0) screen enter income type “EI – Earned Income” and source “CT – Census Income – Temporary”. FAMIS will consider the income as follows:
| Income Description | Income Type | Source | CC | FS | TA | MO HealthNet |
| Census Income-Temporary | EI | CT | Exclude | Exclude | Include | Include |
Allow applicable work expenses on the Temporary Assistance budget.
Identifying Temporary Census Employees
The Census Bureau is recruiting and hiring temporary employees for the 2010 Census field operations. Temporary employees working on the 2010 Census effort will receive a weekly Earnings Statement, form number D-444. At the top of the statement is a notation for Pay Group: "CB-1-Census Temporary Weekly", and the dates for the current pay period. The employer address is listed as:
Kansas City Regional Census Center
US Census Bureau
2001 NE 46th Street, STE LL100
Kansas City, MO 64116-2051
The Census Bureau is the only agency paying employees that will use the new earned income code.
