Households with a member who is age 60+ or disabled skip the gross income test in Arizona. Deductions can bring income under the net limit — the calculator above applies them automatically.

Like most states, Arizona publishes annual Standard Utility Allowances that caseworkers apply in place of actual bills. We haven't yet verified Arizona's FY 2026 SUA amounts from an official source, so our calculator conservatively uses the utility amount you enter — your official determination may come out higher if the state's allowance exceeds your actual bills.
