Qualify for Access PLUS
To qualify for Access PLUS, the member must self-certify that their household income is 50% or less of the Area Median Income.
No paperwork or financial statements are required to be on this plan; the self-certification selection was designed to avoid many of the hassles normally associated with income-based programs.
