     (2) You chose to have Basic Food benefits instead of WASHCAP benefits prior to April 25, 2005; or

     (3) Your food benefits under Basic Food would be at least forty dollars more due to excess shelter costs under WAC 388-450-0190 (1)(a) through (e) or legally obligated child support payments.
