Notes:
1 If the state is marked "---", the state plan did not indicate any special income calculation, so family income is all cash income.
2 Disregard this type of income when determining eligibility.
3 Deduct this amount from earned income only before determining eligibility.
4 Deduct 10% if earnings are less than the federal poverty level, deduct 15% if earnings are greater than or equal to the federal poverty level.

Notes:
1 A few state plans did not give limits for the largest family sizes (sizes 9 and 10).  In those cases, we estimated the limits based on the patterns for other family sizes.
2 Not all states gave limits for family size 1, which would always be a child-only unit with one child. TRIM does not use the family size 1 limits for any families, because it treats non-parent caretakers the same as parents in all states.
