009.10(E) INDIGENT IMMIGRANTS.

If an immigrant is unable to obtain food and shelter, taking into account the immigrant’s own income plus any cash, food, housing, or other assistance provided by other individuals including the sponsor(s), the amount counted must be the amount actually provided to the immigrant by the sponsor. If the immigrant is determined indigent, the amount which must be counted will be the amount actually provided to the immigrant by his or her sponsor(s) for a period beginning with the date of determination and ending 12 months after the determination date. Each instance of indigence is renewable for an additional 12-month period.
