Read to answer one question the reporting could not: whether the three items Missouri now requires are federal requirements or a state choice. For an ordinary application they are not on the (f)(1) mandatory list. Utility expenses are, but only when a household claims more than the state’s standard utility allowance and the expense would produce a deduction. The one place (f)(1) reaches every factor is (f)(1)(ix), households terminated for refusing to cooperate with a quality control reviewer who later reapply.
