# §680.640. May an individual with a disability whose family does not meet income eligibility criteria under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act be eligible for priority as a low-income adult?


Yes, even if the family of an individual with a disability does not meet the income eligibility criteria, the individual with a disability is to be considered a low-income individual if the individual's own income:

- (a) **Meets the income criteria established in WIOA sec.** 3(36)(A)(vi); or
- (b) Meets the income eligibility criteria for payments under any Federal, State or local public assistance program (see WIOA [sec. 3(36)(A)(i)](/cfr/20/3.md?p=36-A-i)).
