Both medical expenses and disability assistance expenses are limited to those in excess of three percent of annual income. For families who qualify for both types of expenses, the allowable amount is the amount by which the combined expenses exceed three percent of annual income.

Because disability assistance expenses are also capped by the amount of income earned, a special calculation is required to determine the allowable deductions. The PJ should first calculate the allowable disability assistance expenses, and then add the allowable medical expenses to that figure.
