(1) Financial eligibility guidelines for enrollment in Crippled Children's Services (CCS) shall be based upon the Poverty Income Guidelines in section (2) of this rule, as established by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

(B) Size of family unit shall be the number of persons in the household, including the responsible party(ies) and dependents allowable by the Internal Revenue Service as federal income tax exemptions. If there is more than one (1) eligible CCS client in the household, the total family size shall be increased by one (1) unit for each additional client; and

(C) Families or individuals whose income exceeds the one hundred eighty-five percent (185%) poverty level shall be given consideration if the medical cost of an eligible condition, regardless of third-party payment, would bring the income below the one hundred eighty-five percent (185%) poverty level.
