Code of Massachusetts Regulations

Title 121 CMR 2.000 - Massachusetts Refugee Resettlement Program
Section 2.505 - Determination of Financial Eligibility and Refugee Cash Assistance

Universal Citation: 121 MA Code of Regs 121.2

Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

There are four steps in determining financial eligibility and grant amount:

(a) Determining who shall be in the filing and assistance unit;

(b) Determining how much countable earned and unearned income there is in the filing unit;

(c) Making allowable deductions from earned income;

(d) Comparing the filing unit's total countable income after allowable deductions to the Standard of Assistance (121 CMR 2.555) for the number of people in the assistance unit. If it is less than the Standard of Assistance for the number of people in the assistance unit, the assistance unit is eligible, and the monthly grant amount is the difference between the Standard of Assistance and total countable income after allowable deductions. If the filing unit's total countable income after allowable deductions is greater than the Standard of Assistance in the assistance unit, the assistance unit is not eligible.
