12VAC30-120-920, Sections B. 2. a. (1) and B. 2. B. (1)
 

In 12VAC30-120-920, Sections B. 2. a. (1) and B. 2. B. (1), please delete the eight-hour employment per week minimum for disregarding earned income.  The eight hour minimum is arbitrary and unfair. Why should a person who works less than 8 hours per week have earned income deducted when they have the same employment expenses as those who work 8-20 hours? Please consider the impact that this has on individuals with disabilities. Working provides a sense of pride and purpose. Would you want that taken away from you?
