Emergency Aid to the Elderly Disabled and Children (EAEDC) Grant Calculation

Table of Standards of Assistance

The figures in the following Standards of Assistance Tables are used to determine financial eligibility. If the countable monthly income of the assistance unit is equal to or less than the appropriate standard of assistance, the unit is financially eligible. The monthly grant is the difference between the countable income and the appropriate standard of assistance. The determination of living arrangement shall be in accordance with 106 CMR 704.440.

The General Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (the state budget) removed the rent allowance from the EAEDC program effective July 1, 2003.
