N.M. Admin. Code § 8.150.520.16

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 24, December 23, 2024
Section 8.150.520.16 - CRISIS INTERVENTION STANDARDS

Households who are over the income standards but meet the crisis intervention requirements may be eligible for a crisis LIHEAP benefit. If a household is over the income standards, HCA staff should explore the household's financial circumstances and take into account any financial crisis in the household that may have resulted in the household's inability to meet its utility or fuel expenses in the past 30 days. In these cases, the household's net income, rather than gross income, may be considered to determine income eligibility for LIHEAP benefits.
