004.05(A) PROCESSING APPLICATIONS.

Shelter residents are considered separate from their former households if the former household which includes them in the allotment also includes the persons who subjected them to abuse. Shelter residents who are included in these certified households may receive an additional allotment as a separate household only once during a month. Benefits are prorated from the application filing date. Shelter residents who apply as separate households are certified solely on their income, resources, and the expenses for which they are responsible. They are certified without regard to the income, resources, and expenses of their former household. Jointly held resources are considered inaccessible. Room payments to the shelter are considered as shelter expense. A notice of adverse action is sent to the former household notifying the household of the change.
