Households must meet income tests as a condition of eligibility, unless all members are receiving TANF cash assistance benefits or Social Security Income.
To use the chart:
1. Add up all gross income (income before taxes and other deductions) that your household receives for a month.
2. On the chart, find the number of people in your household.
3. Follow the row to find the income limit for your household size.
Example:
A household of 4 has one person working and another receiving social security benefits. The gross paycheck from work (earned income) amount is $600 every two weeks, and the net amount is $550.
The gross social security check (unearned income) is $550, and the net amount (after a premium payment) is $475.
1. Add gross income for the month: $1,200 (two paychecks) + $550 (monthly social security) = $1,700 gross income.
2. Find a household size of 4 on the chart . . .
3. Which has a gross income limit of $2,297. The household may be eligible for assistance, and is encouraged to apply.
