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).
