Title: FSP: Nondiscretionary Provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
Abstract: This proposed rule amends the Food Stamp Program regulations to implement eight provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. These provisions require no interpretation or discretion: 1) Freeze the minimum allotment at $10; 2) change the way the maximum allotments are calculated to use 100% of the Thrifty Food Plan as opposed to 103%; 3) freeze the standard deduction at current level and eliminate the adjustment procedures; 4) cap the excess shelter expense deduction; 5) change the household composition definition so that children under 22 years of age and living with their parents cannot be a separate household; 6) increase the time frame from 5 to 7 days for expedited service; 7) set a time limit of not more than 90 days living in another person's house for considering a person homeless; and 8) set the fair market value of vehicles at $4,600 through 9/30/96 and raise it to $4,650 effective 10/1/96 and eliminate future adjustments.
