applies even when no member of the applicant AG has previously received a DCA payment. • The applicant must agree to have the WV WORKS application withdrawn. • The applicant will be required to attend Orientation, sign the DFA-WVW-4 and the List of Local Services. 1.5.18.B Determining Financial Eligibility for the DCA Financial eligibility for the DCA is determined by comparing the gross, non-excluded, countable income of the AG to 100% of the Standard of Need (SON), based on the number of people in the AG. If the income is equal to or less than the appropriate SON, the Worker must determine the AG’s countable income. See Section 4.5. If the countable income is less than the maximum WV WORKS benefit amount for the AG size shown in Chapter 4, Appendix A, the AG is eligible for DCA. 1.5.18.C Determining the DCA Amount The DCA amount is determined as follows. • Determine the maximum WV WORKS amount that is payable to a family of the same size. This number does not include a non-recipient Work-Eligible Individual. No incentives or reductions are applied when determining the DCA amount. • Multiply the amount by three. This result is the maximum DCA payment which may be issued. • There are no circumstances under which the maximum DCA payment amount may be exceeded.
