May I choose whether I get WASHCAP food benefits or basic food benefits?
You may choose to have basic food benefits instead of Washington state combined application project (WASHCAP) food benefits when one or more of the following apply:
(1) Your allowable out-of-pocket medical expenses are more than thirty-five dollars a month;
(2) You chose to have basic food benefits instead of WASHCAP benefits prior to April 25, 2005 and have remained WASHCAP eligible continuously since April 25, 2005;
(3) Your food benefits under basic food would be at least forty dollars more than what you receive from WASHCAP.
