Categorical Eligibility Benefit Calculation
AZTECS compares the income of an
NA Basic categorically eligible budgetary unit against the
Net Income Standard. Benefits are calculated based on
NA income criteria.
AZTECS determines when the gross income of an
NA Expanded categorically eligible budgetary unit exceeds
185% of the current federal poverty level (FPL). When the budgetary unit's gross income exceeds 185% of the current FPL, the budgetary unit is not categorically eligible.
When the budgetary unit is determined NA categorically eligible (Basic or Expanded), AZTECS displays the appropriate Case Type Code on FSAD, FSBH and CAP2.
When the budgetary unit is categorically eligible for NA benefits, follow normal processing procedures.
NA categorically eligible budgetary units are eligible for at least the
minimum NA allotment.
