Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Households in
				need of immediate food assistance shall be provided expedited service if the
				household:
1) has liquid assets (such as,
				cash on hand, checking or savings accounts) of no more than $100, and has gross
				monthly income for the fiscal month of application of less than $150;
				or
2) has liquid assets of no more
				than $100 and contains a migrant or seasonal farmworker who is destitute. A
				migrant or seasonal farmworker household meeting one of the following criteria
				is considered destitute:
A) Migrant or
				seasonal farmworker households whose only income for the fiscal month of
				application was received prior to the date of application and was from a
				terminated source are considered destitute.
i) Income is considered as coming from a
				terminated source if it is received monthly or more frequently and will not be
				received again from the same source during the fiscal month of application or
				during the month following application, or it is normally received less often
				than monthly and will not be received in the month the next payment is normally
				received.
ii) A household member
				who changes jobs but continues to work for the same employer is considered as
				still receiving income from the same source.
iii) Migrant households which have received
				their last wages from a grower, food processor, livestock, nursery or other
				employer are considered destitute.
B) Income from a New Source
i) Migrant or seasonal farmworker households
				whose only income, for the fiscal month in which the application is filed, is
				from a new source are considered destitute if income or more than $25 will not
				be received from the new source by the 10th calendar
				day following the date of application.
ii) Income is considered as coming from a new
				source if it is normally received on a monthly basis or more frequently and
				more than $25 has not been received from the source within 30 days prior to the
				date the application was filed, or it is normally received less often than
				monthly and income of more than $25 was not received within the last normal
				interval between regular payments.
C) Households may receive income from a
				terminated source prior to the date of application and income from a new source
				after the date of application. Such households may be considered destitute if
				they receive no other income in the fiscal month of application and income of
				more than $25 from the new source will not be received by the
				10th calendar day after the date of initial
				application.
D) The receipt of a
				wage advance for the travel costs of a new employee does not affect the
				determination of whether subsequent payments from the employer are from a new
				source of income or whether a household is to be considered
				destitute.
3) has
				combined gross monthly income and liquid resources which are less than the
				household's monthly rent or mortgage and utility costs.
