Section 10:87-6.5 - Ineligibility for month of application

Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:87-6.5

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) A household may be ineligible for the month of application, but eligible in the subsequent month due to anticipated changes in circumstances. Even though denied for the month of application, the household does not have to reapply in the subsequent month. The same application shall be used for both the denial for the month of application and the determination of eligibility for subsequent months, within the timeliness standards at 10:87-2.26 and 2.27.

(b) Eligible households may have their initial month's allotment prorated to zero, but be entitled to some benefits in subsequent months. The CWAs must certify the household beginning with the month of application.

(c) A household's gross income could be low enough to make it eligible while its net income could be high enough to disqualify it on an ongoing basis. The CWA shall deny these households participation on the grounds that their net income exceed the level below which benefits are issued.

(d) A household that is otherwise eligible, based on their gross and/or net income, may only be entitled to zero benefits. Such a household shall have its application denied.
