003.02(A) GROSS MONTHLY INCOME ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS.

Gross income refers to income after any allowable income exclusions have been applied. Households which do not include an elderly or disabled member and are not categorically eligible must be under the gross monthly income standard for their household size. Households which are determined to be eligible under gross monthly income standards must also pass the net monthly income standards. Households which include one or more elderly or disabled household members are exempt from the gross monthly income standard. If the household income exceeds the gross income limits, the automated system will deny or close the case when a final budget is processed.
