Fee Waiver & Discount

Learn about our fee waiver and discount options

Fee Discount

Evergreen Financial Counseling provides its services for $19.99 per household. However, we are committed to providing our course without regard to an individual’s ability to pay.

Partial Fee Waiver ($5 Discount)

Individuals demonstrate need for a fee waiver in part if their household current income is less than 150 percent and above 100 percent of the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal Register by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 9902(2), as adjusted from time to time. These individuals automatically qualify for $5 off the regular course price.

Full Fee Waiver

Individuals demonstrate need for a fee waiver in full if their household current income is less than 150 percent of the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal Register by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 9902(2), as adjusted from time to time.

Full fee waivers may be rebutted, and Evergreen may offer a $5 off regular course price discount instead, if Evergreen determines based on income information the client submits in connection with counseling services, that the client is able to pay the fee in a reduced amount, as pursuant to 28 C.F.R. §§ 58.21 (b)(1)(ii).

Notification

At the conclusion of their course, Evergreen Financial Counseling will inform individual that they may qualify for a fee waiver in part or whole.

In order to fully verify individual’s financial situation, Evergreen Financial Counseling will request a copy of individual’s most recent paystubs or W2s, as well as a copy of their most recent tax return.
