Wash. Admin. Code § 388-450-0138 - Does the department allocate income of an ineligible spouse to a housing and essential needs (HEN) referral client?
This section applies to referrals to the housing and essential needs (HEN) program.
(1)
When a HEN referral client is married and lives with their ineligible spouse,
we take the following steps to figure out how much income we count:
(a) We start by totaling earned income, as
defined in WAC
388-450-0030, and subtract the
earned income deduction, as defined in WAC
388-450-0178;
(b) We add all the unearned income, as
defined in WAC
388-450-0025;
(c) We subtract the difference between the
two person and one person payment standards (payment standards can be found in
WAC 388-478-0033).
(2) We subtract any court or
administratively ordered child support paid for legal dependents. This includes
both current and back support. The amount cannot exceed the standard of need in
WAC 388-478-0015 for the number of
dependents.
(3) Then, we compare
the remaining income after deductions in subsections (1) and (2) of this
section to the income limits defined in WAC
388-478-0090.
