ACL 13-32: Modified Categorical Eligibility/Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility And Elderly/Disabled CalFresh Households (4/24/13)

An important add-on to ACL 12-62, explaining that if a household with seniors/people classified as disabled are above 200% FPL (the financial cut off with the feds for Categorical Eligibility), the county must still process the application to determine if the household is  eligible.  Why? Because these households have no gross income limit (as well as having no excess shelter cap and being eligible for out of pocket medical expenses), and thus could be eligible even if above 200% FPL.  The county would need to determine if they are below the $3k resource limit.  Which is one of the only times (other than when looking at Expedited eligibility) that resources matter for CalFresh.   [Download]
