The Code of Hammurabi

www.wsu.edu/CODE.HTM - Preview

That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to declare justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.

  Excess shelter allowance defined
  
  In paragraph (3)(A)(ii), the term “excess shelter allowance” means, for a community spouse, the amount by which the sum of—
  
  (A)
  the spouse’s expenses for rent or mortgage payment (including principal and interest), taxes and insurance and, in the case of a condominium or cooperative, required maintenance charge, for the community spouse’s principal residence, and

  exceeds 30 percent of the amount described in paragraph (3)(A)(i), except that, in the case of a condominium or cooperative, for which a maintenance charge is included under subparagraph (A), any allowance under subparagraph (B) shall be reduced to the extent the maintenance charge includes utility expenses.

- (B)
  Revision of minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance
  
  If either such spouse establishes that the community spouse needs income, above the level otherwise provided by the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance, due to exceptional circumstances resulting in significant financial duress, there shall be substituted, for the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance in subsection (d)(2)(A) of this section, an amount adequate to provide such additional income as is necessary.

The Stay-At-Home Spouse (Community Spouse)

The Spousal Impoverishment Act (SIA), which Congress passed
in 1988, protects the stay-at-home spouse (well spouse) by allowing
him or her to keep a minimum amount of non-exempt assets referred to
as the Community Spouse Resource Allowance (CSRA), and a minimum amount
of a couples joint monthly income. The income amount is referred to
as the Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance (MMMNA). If the stay-at-home
spouse has income separate from the applicant that is greater than the
MMMNA, the stay-at-home spouse may then have unlimited income. Each
state sets its own Community Spouse Resource Allowance following federal
guidelines up to $95,100 for 2005 with a MMMNA guideline maximum of
$2,378. Some states have both a minimum base and a maximum amount for
both the CSRA and the MMMNA. Both can be increased under certain circumstances
through a “Fair Hearing” or a Court Order.
Court Order:
If the community spouse’s income is below the Minimum Monthly
Maintenance Needs Allowance, a court order may be obtained to increase
the Community Spouse Resource Allowance to create income up to the
allowable Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance.

The community spouse resource allowance shall be established and maintained at the maximum level permitted pursuant to Section 1924(f)(2) of the Social Security Act, as now or hereafter amended, or an amount set after a fair hearing, whichever is greater.
