Income rules are used to determine the unearned, earned and self employment income that are countable/non countable for the household. Income is classified as either countable or non-countable. Only countable income is included in the income eligibility determination.
The household's adjusted gross countable income must be equal to or less than 200% of the federal poverty level for the household size.
See the Family - Common Income Rules chapter for the steps to calculate the household's total countable income.
