Exceptions:
-
If your AU is categorically eligible under WAC 388-414-0001, your AU does not have to meet the gross or net income standards in columns B and C. We do budget your AU’s income to decide the amount of Basic Food your AU will receive.
-
If your AU includes a member who is sixty years of age or older or has a disability, your income must be at or below the limit in column C only.
-
If you are sixty years of age or older and cannot buy and cook your own meals because of a permanent disability, we use column E to decide if you can be a separate AU.
-
If your AU has zero income, your benefits are the maximum allotment in column D based on the number of eligible members in your AU.
