In order to be eligible under DGIL, a household’s take-home income and accessible liquid resources during the disaster benefit period, minus disaster expenses as determined by the State agency, must not exceed the income limit for its size. The household must have paid or must expect to pay the expenses during the designated disaster period. Such expenses are not deductible if the household has received or expects to receive full reimbursement of the expense during the designated disaster period. If partial reimbursement is expected during the designated disaster period, only the portion of the expense not covered by the reimbursement will be allowed.
