If an Assistance Group’s income is below 190% FPL at any time, CSAW will assign the Assistance Group (AG) to the Copayment Stabilization period. During the Copayment Stabilization period, CSAW will not allow increases in income to increase the AG’s copayment per hour until the AG’s next eligibility renewal. Once CSAW has assigned the AG to the Copayment Stabilization period, CSAW will not assign the AG to a different Copayment Period until the AG’s next eligibility renewal.
| Example: At application in June, Brad’s income places his AG at 75% FPL. In September, Brad receives a $1.00/hour raise, which brings his AG’s income up to 90% FPL. CSAW will not increase Brad’s copayment per hour above the 75% FPL copayment level until his next renewal. |
