Sec. 3.

(a) The commission shall utilize the most recent available federal poverty guidelines in its evaluation of an applicant's financial eligibility. Federal poverty guidelines are published in the Federal Register in January of each year.

(b) The applicant's federal gross income, or combined federal gross income of the applicant and the applicant's spouse, shall be based on the most recent two (2) consecutive pay stubs and most recent federal tax returns, including any W-2 tax forms or other income documentation of the applicant and the applicant's spouse.

(c) If the applicant's gross income, or the combined gross income of the applicant and the applicant's spouse, exceeds two (2) times the United States federal poverty guideline amount then the applicant will not be eligible for assistance from the fund.

(d) The commission may waive the gross income threshold established in subsection (a) if the applicant requests a waiver of the threshold in writing to the commission. The applicant must provide supporting documentation indicating that a substantive, negative change or impact in the:

(1) employment status;

(2) medical condition (including death);

(3) increase in the number of dependents; or

(4) housing; of the applicant, or the applicant's spouse, has occurred, and that the change or impact would support a reasonable conclusion that the applicant's gross income is not likely to exceed two (2) times the most recent federal poverty guideline in the current calendar year as a result of the change or impact.
