Or. Admin. Code § 461-160-0140

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 11, November 1, 2024
Section 461-160-0140 - How Income and Resources are Used to Determine Eligibility and Benefit for EA

The Department considers a client's income and resources in determining eligibility and benefit level for EA as follows:

(1) The financial group's countable income is compared to the TANF adjusted income payment standard for the benefit group. If countable income equals or exceeds the standard, the benefit group is not eligible.
(2) If countable income is less than the standard and the financial group meets all other EA eligibility requirements, the client is required to use all income and resources that are immediately available to meet the emergent need. The EA benefit is calculated by subtracting all income and resources that are immediately available to the client from the amount needed to meet the emergent need. The remainder is the benefit, not to exceed the limit in OAR 461-155-0070.
