Requirements

An Assistance Unit (AU) includes the individuals who will receive benefits upon approval of the application for assistance.

Basic Considerations

The AU size determines the income limit. The income and resources of all individuals in the AU are used to determine eligibility.

Because of financial responsibility, certain individuals who are not included in the AU may have their income and resources considered when determining the AU’s eligibility for assistance.
