Amended Means Test

[jmstay]

When reviewing the new amended means test effective 1/1/08, I notices a very minor play on works related to Communicatio9n expenses:

Other Necessary Expenses: telecommunication services. Enter the total average monthly amount that you
actually pay for telecommunication services other than your basic home telephone and cell phone service

I believe cel phone charges will now be included in the utility/household category. Those amounts are increasing to include cel phones. I think I remember reading that somewhere. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think they have realized that many people use a cell phone as their house phone so have changed the rules to include cell phones as part of utilities, just like a regular house phone
