Policy Effective: October 1, 2014
The determination of who lives together is based on the following criteria:
People will be considered living together if they share any of following:
Kitchen
Bathroom
Living Area: living room or bedroom
Entrance: sharing an entrance means the customer must walk through any living area of the home in order to access their own living area.
Same address: To be considered living in a separate residence the customer must have a separate residential/physical address recognized by the post office.
A separate Post Office Box address is not considered a separate residential address.
People who live on the same property, even if in separate structures, (such as an apartment over the garage or in a camper) will be considered living together if they share the kitchen, bathroom, or living area. To be considered living separately, the separate structure must have running water and electricity.
