Number Of People In Household

The number of people in your household includes anyone living in the home on a full-time basis. This would include adults and children who are not renters. The following people are NOT considered household members:

  • Persons who are maintaining their living arrangements temporarily for a reason such as a visit, vacation or education.
  • Those in the military, away at college, in a nursing home or a rehabilitation facility, or incarcerated in a correctional facility.
    (Exception: If the household has access to a family member’s military income, it does count towards the household income and the individual is counted as a member of the household.)

Yearly Household Income Before Taxes

Maximum yearly household income before taxes includes:

  • All sources of income including salaries, wages, child support, SSI, SS and SS Disability, Public Assistance, Workers Compensation, unemployment, pensions, etc.
  • Any money earned by a spouse, parent, or any other person 18 years old or over, permanently residing in the home.
  • The income of those students who live at home while attending school. However, do not count their income if the student is away at college or other post-secondary education institution.
  • Military income, if the household has access to a family member’s military income.
