3.1.1 Financial Eligibility Overview

In addition to meeting the nonfinancial eligibility criteria, applicants must also meet financial eligibility criteria for EA.

Financial eligibility for EA is determined by both a gross income and an asset test. (See 3.2 and 3.3)

Applicants who are open for W-2 or other programs do not automatically meet EA financial eligibility.

See Chapter 4 for information about verifying financial eligibility.
