9042 Categorically Eligible Households

[273.2(j)] Households applying for food stamps whose gross income is at or below 200 percent of the Federal poverty level are categorically eligible unless specifically excluded in DSSM 9042.2 or 9042.3. The household is categorically eligible because Delaware uses TANF funds to provide pregnancy prevention information. Reduction of out- of-wedlock pregnancies is the 3rd purpose of the TANF program. The authorization to receive information and/or services for pregnancy prevention is included on all applications for food stamps as follows: AUTHORIZATION FOR RECEIPT OF PREGNANCY PREVENTION INFORMATION You are authorized to receive pregnancy prevention information.
