Clarifying Information

All members of the household must be at least 60 years old or must be an adult with a disability as defined in WAC 388-400-0040 .

No member may have earned income.

Unearned income must be verified through existing data crossmatches or by verification provided at recertification.

Nothing on the eligibility review form is questionable. For example, when rent and utilities are self-declared, accept the client’s statement unless the shelter costs are questionable.

To be allowed, out-of-pocket-medical expenses in excess of $35 per month must be verified. If not verified, recertify the case without the expense.
