Please note that due
to rounding the
periodic
(weekly/monthly,
etc.) total when
annualized may
exceed the annual
amount allowed. This
is acceptable as
long as the periodic
pay does not exceed
the weekly, or
monthly amount
allowed.
Note: A pregnant
woman is counted as
one (1) + the number
of infants expected
- (1 or more) when
determining income
eligibility for the
total economic unit.

While most
States use the maximum
guidelines, States may set
lower income limit
standards. A person or
certain family members who
participate in other
benefits programs such as
the Food Stamp Program,
Medicaid, or Temporary
Assistance for Needy
Families automatically meet
the income eligibility
requirement. |
