2. the member has significant expenses for medical care for himself, spouse, or child; or
3. an emergency situation of the member, which shall consist of the foreclosure on a member's domicile, repossession of the member's vehicle, or eviction of the member from his or her apartment. A document filed in the official legal proceeding for foreclosure or repossession or a notice of eviction shall be required as proof to qualify under this provision.
