Effective November 1, 2007, contractors are to use the attached income ceiling table to determine the maximum income eligibility by family size. Program directors are to continue utilizing the current family fee schedule as noted in MB 06-19 (effective January 1, 2007). For an eligible family whose income exceeds the family fee schedule, contractors are to use the fees for 75 percent of the SMI on the current family fee schedule so that the family pays the maximum fee for their respective family size.
A revised family fee schedule is being developed to reflect the updated SMI and will be released shortly.
If you have any questions regarding the new income eligibility levels or application of the family fee schedule, please contact your assigned field services consultant. [http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cd/ci/assignments.asp]

However, due to the potential threat of danger like the event happened today. I therefore request an inspection on the space...to ensure safety measure.
