Income Rules

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.

1. The household's gross countable income is equal or less than 185% of the monthly limit for the household size AND
2. The household's net countable income is equal to or less than the 100% of the monthly limit for the household size

See the Family - Common Income Rules chapter for the steps to calculate the household's total countable income.
