For a client working 15 hours weekly at a rate of $7.50 hourly and deemed eligible, what are the correct free months if they apply on January 31, 2019?

To determine the correct free months for a client applying for services as described, it's essential to calculate the eligibility and the timeline of benefits based on their application date and income.

In this scenario, the client is working 15 hours per week at a wage of $7.50 per hour. This results in a weekly income of $112.50 (15 hours x $7.50). Over the course of a month, this amounts to approximately $450 (4 weeks x $112.50), which is critical in assessing eligibility for free months.

The eligibility for benefits typically starts from the month following the application. Since the client applied on January 31, 2019, the benefits would not commence until February. Free months usually cover the three consecutive months following the initial eligibility determination, starting from the month the client applied or became eligible.

Therefore, for this client, the first free month is February. Following February, March would be the second month, and April would be the third month of free benefits. This aligns perfectly with the understanding of the benefits cycle following an application date.

As a result, the correct sequence of free months for this client, who applied at the end of January 2019, is February, March, and April
