Current through Register 1518, March 29, 2024

(1) The review shall include a report signed under penalties and perjury, by either the applicant or the auditor, or a person responsible for handling the company books. Based on all the facts, the Secretary will determine eligibility before any benefits are paid. The fact that a business expense is reported as tax deductible, shall not be conclusive evidence that it is a legitimate business expense for the purpose of determining the applicant's income.

(2) The veteran's agent shall also require applicants whose self-employment efforts have failed to generate income which, is adequate enough to afford them sufficient relief or support, and who have no foreseeable prospects of generating income, to complete an employment plan and conduct job searches as required by 108 CMR 7.01(3) and (4) as a condition of receiving benefits.

(3) However, under no circumstances will veterans' benefits subsidize a business.
