What is required for over-income applicants on the waiting list?

When someone on the waiting list is over the income limit, the process hinges on documenting the determination and communicating it clearly. Documenting the income verification, the date of the determination, and the result creates an audit trail that shows why the person isn’t eligible for current units. Clear written communication informs the applicant of the reason, what happens next, and any options (such as staying on the list if their income changes or applying again later). This approach supports fairness and compliance with program rules, rather than removing them automatically or leaving them without notice.
