$391.613 x 1/3 = $130.537 less $66.16 = $64.377, monthly payment to Amy for August
and September (rounded to $64.38) (Amy did not rebut the presumed value of the in-kind
income)

$397.00 x 2/3 = $264.666, monthly payment amount to Paul (rounded to $264.67)
$397.00 x 1/3 = $132.333 less $46.16* = $86.173, monthly payment amount to Amy (rounded
to $86.18)
*The monthly presumed value of in-kind income was reduced by the appropriate portion
of the unused general income exclusion. ($20.00 per month in this case.) Computation
for the first quarter of 1981 would differ from the final quarter of 1982 since a
couple status change occurs (see SI 02009.025 for computation of benefits when there is a couple status change).
