OVERVIEW OF CHANGES
441-2 C. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS PAYMENTS
Clarified what is needs based and what is not needs based income from Veteran's Administration.
452-2 A. INELIGIBLE SPOUSE'S INCOME EQUAL OR LESS THAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SSI STANDARDS
Fixed the example from $356 to $367 (the difference between the SSI payment standard for an eligible couple and an eligible individual); i.e. $1100 - $733 = $367.
