Vermont H0689 proposes to ensure financial aid applications consider only the income of individuals with disabilities, not their entire household.

Vermont H0689 mandates that service providers create exceptions on financial aid applications for housing, hospital, and surgical care. This ensures that only the income of an individual with a disability is considered when determining eligibility and benefit level, not the income of their entire household. This change aims to provide more equitable financial aid for those with disabilities.
