The official designated by the Municipal Labor Director, with the elements contributed by the social characterization, evaluates the economic solvency of the family nucleus as follows:
- All the income received by the family nucleus is added;
- expenses are deducted from this income for obligations and debts contracted (debts for bank credits, judicial liens, alimony and other monthly taxes);
- The result of this operation is divided by the number of family members, to determine the available per capita income.
In the evaluation of the economic solvency to receive the subsidy, maximum limits are set, taking into account the available per capita income and other situations of vulnerability of the Family nucleus. If the per capita is less than or equal to 300 (three hundred) pesos, the family nucleus may benefit from a subsidy.
Exceptionally, families with per capita above 300 (three hundred) pesos and less than or equal to 600 (six hundred) pesos can benefit from subsidy, whenever the situations occur following:
