Approach to Determining Client Eligibility. Provide a description of the definition of income used to determine eligibility Prior to the weatherization of any unit, documentation shall be obtained, using the state weatherization application certifying that the household meets eligibility criteria as provided in 10 CFR Section 440.22 and the New Jersey Weatherization Policy and Procedures Manual, Chapter 1, Eligibility and Documentation. Eligibility guidelines are based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Per The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regulations, the State of New Jersey computes income eligibility at gross annual household income equal to or less than 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines; or The household includes a member who has received cash assistance payments under Title IV or Title XVI of the Social Security Act; Food Stamps under the Food Stamp Act of 1977; or adoption subsidy under Title IV federal or state cash assistance payments or applicable state or local law at any time during the twelvemonth period preceding the determination of eligibility for weatherization assistance. Describe what household Eligibility basis will be used in the Program All applicants shall be required to complete an application for weatherization assistance. This includes all clients that come to the WAP Agency from the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEA) as the result of a direct feed to HEA from the Food Stamps or the PAAD programs. This application may be the same application used for the household to apply for HEA benefits, provided that the application is complete and current. The only exception to this requirement applies to recipients who rent units in multifamily buildings that use the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income qualification process to determine eligibility for subsidized housing. If a multiunit building is identified and included on list 1 or 2 as provided in WPN 165, WAP Agencies will not be required to certify income eligibility for the tenants. WAP agencies are not required to complete landlord tenant agreements for each tenant. WAP Agencies are still responsible for the collection of all required income and demographic data for such units. Chapter 2, Eligible and NonEligible Structures, of the Policy Manual, provides information concerning the HUD income qualification process.
