CSSA add-ons pro rata include which items?

• A. Child care expenses only
• B. Health insurance only
• C. Unreimbursed health expenses only
• D. Child care expenses, health insurance, and unreimbursed health expenses

Answer: (D)

In CSSA, the extra allowances added to a recipient’s benefit are designed to cover specific ongoing costs that affect work and health. When calculated pro rata, these add-ons can include multiple eligible expense types, not just one.

The items that qualify are child care expenses needed to enable work or job search; health insurance premiums paid by the recipient; and unreimbursed health expenses. Because all three categories can be included if they apply, the pro rata add-ons encompass child care, health insurance, and unreimbursed health expenses. If only one category applies, then only that portion is added.
