Ariz. Admin. Code § R6-12-705 - Determining Benefit Payment Amount
A. The Department shall determine the amount
of the cash benefit by subtracting the monthly net income of the assistance
unit, from 36% of the 1992 federal poverty level for the number of persons in
the assistance unit, and rounding down the resulting figure to the next whole
dollar in any of the following circumstances:
1. The assistance unit or parent of a
dependent child whose income and resources are considered available to the
assistance unit pays, or is obligated to pay, all or part of the shelter costs
for the place in which assistance unit members reside. Shelter costs include:
a. Rent,
b. Mortgage,
c. Property taxes,
d. Mobile home space or taxes,
e. Homeowner association fees and taxes,
or
f. The household shelter cost
obligation is in foreclosure action and the mortgage company will accept back
payments;
2. The
assistance unit members reside in subsidized public housing;
3. A member of the assistance unit or parent
of a dependent child whose income and resources are considered available to the
assistance unit works in exchange for rent;
4. The assistance unit is composed only of a
dependent child for whom benefits were requested by a non-parent caretaker
relative head of household; or
5.
Assistance is paid in a child only case.
B. For all circumstances not covered under
subsections (A)(1) through (5), including those when shelter costs are paid for
three consecutive months or longer by a person who is not a member of the
assistance unit, or by a parent of a dependent child whose income and resources
are considered available to the assistance unit, the Department shall determine
the amount of the assistance grant by subtracting the monthly net income of the
assistance unit from 23% of the 1992 federal poverty level for the number of
persons in the assistance unit, and rounding down the resulting figure to the
next whole dollar.
C. If the
benefit amount is less than $10, the Department shall not pay benefits; the
assistance unit remains eligible for CA for all other purposes.
D. The Department shall pay benefits for the
month of application only from the filing date of the application. The benefit
amount is prorated based on the number of days remaining in the month after the
date of application.
