Effect on Family Size with a Pregnancy

An applicant pregnant woman who does not meet income eligibility requirements on the basis of her current family size and income shall be reassessed for eligibility based on a family size increased by one, or by the number of expected multiple births.

Note: Proof of multiple births is required following standard procedure.

In situations where the family size has been increased for a pregnant woman, the same increased family size should also be used for any of the categorically eligible family members.
