3. Category Three – Self-Employed
- Self-employed (including employment as a farmer, rancher, or fisherman) but is unemployed as a result of a natural disaster, or "general economic conditions" in the community where the individual resides.
4. Category Four – Displaced Homemaker
- A “displaced homemaker” is an individual who has been providing unpaid services to family members in the home and who has been dependent on the income of another family member but is no longer supported by that income; AND is unemployed or underemployed and is experiencing difficulty obtaining or upgrading employment.
- The definition of "displaced homemaker" includes only those individuals who were dependent on a family member’s income. Those individuals who have been dependent on public assistance may be served in the adult program. To be considered “dependent on the income of another family member”, at least 50% of the individual’s support must come from a family member. “No longer supported by that income”, means any reason for that loss of income, not just in the case of legal separation, divorce or death.
5. Category Five – Self-Employed
- Self-employed farmer, rancher or family member who derived 50% or more of their income from farming or ranching and is losing, or has lost, their primary source of income as a result of economic conditions over a period of two years or a natural disaster.
