New in FFY24, household income eligibility is based on the household’s income from the past one complete calendar month prior to signing the application, for most earned and unearned income. This impacts these sections of this chapter: • Tribal Per Capita income • Income Definition and Determination • 2024 Maximum EAP Income Guidelines • Income Inclusions and Exclusions • Earned Income Documentation • Self-Employment Income Including Rental and Farm Income • Fully Employed Household Members with Seasonal Income • Unearned income Documentation
11 The Household Definition section was changed to cite the LIHEAP statute and to indicate more clearly that household determinations are made on a case-by- case basis. The remainder of the Household Definition section is the same.
