7 AAC 45.527 - Standard shelter allowance; reduction for low shelter costs

(a) The portion of the ATAP payment allocated as the standard shelter allowance under AS 47.27.025(d) is 30 percent of the assistance unit's need standard, as determined under 7 AAC 45.520.

(b) An assistance unit that does not include a caretaker relative is not subject to a reduction in payment due to low shelter costs. For other assistance units, the amount of the reduction required by 7 AAC 45.525 for low shelter costs is calculated by subtracting from the standard shelter allowance the amount of the assistance unit's allowable shelter costs established under 7 AAC 45.528. If the amount calculated is less than $1, the amount of the reduction for low shelter costs is $0.
