Nev. Admin. Code ch. 118B § 118B.370
Guidelines for eligibility for assistance.
Operative Text
The Division will use the guidelines for poverty established by the United States Department of Health and Human Services to determine eligibility for assistance from the Fund.
Nev. Admin. Code ch. 118B § 118B.370 establishes that Nevada's Division uses the federal poverty guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the benchmark for determining who qualifies for financial assistance from the Fund. This means eligibility is tied to a nationally recognized income threshold rather than a state-specific standard. The rule provides a clear, objective measure for assessing whether an applicant meets the income criteria for assistance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Nev. Admin. Code ch. 118B § 118B.370, the Division—not landlords—administers eligibility determinations for Fund assistance, using federal poverty guidelines as the standard. Property owners who interact with tenants seeking this assistance should be aware that qualification is based on those federally established income thresholds. Operators generally maintain awareness of this process so they can accurately communicate to tenants that eligibility decisions rest with the Division.
