I know that HOPWA allows us to pay for up to 21 weeksŐ worth of assistance for Ms. Lopez. I reviewed Ms. LopezŐs documentation
and determined that she owed part of April and all of MayŐs rent, plus part of March and all of AprilŐs gas bills. The dates in April overlap,
so both rent and gas owed in that month only counts as 31 days total when combined. That means: 21 days for March (partial gas bill),
31 days for April (partial rent but full gas bill), and 31 days for May (full rent), for a total of 82 daysŐ worth of debt. CARE WORKS also decided
to pay both rent and gas bills in October, which counts for another 31 days. Together, this makes for 114 days of total assistance,
or about 17 weeks. I tracked this determination in a form that showed how I calculated the value of past and ongoing payments and put this into her client file.
