1. (a) The portion of the ATAP payment allocated as the standard shelter allowance under AS 47.27.025(d) is 30 percent of the assistance unit's need standard, as determined under 7 AAC 45.520.
2. (b) An assistance unit that does not include a caretaker relative is not subject to a reduction in payment due to low shelter costs. For other assistance units, the amount of the reduction required by 7 AAC 45.525 for low shelter costs is calculated by subtracting from the standard shelter allowance the amount of the assistance unit's allowable shelter costs established under 7 AAC 45.528. If the amount calculated is less than $1, the amount of the reduction for low shelter costs is $0.
