Household Status

The Household Status Detail page records whether a consumer is in or out of the home (temporarily or permanently) for budgeting purposes. Every person associated with the case must have a household status.  If no record exists, KEES assumes the consumer is in the home.  A consumer should be coded in the home if he/she is part of the budgeting unit, needs allocated income and/or a division of resources.
