ANNUALIZED INCOME GUIDELINES 

 The six-month, 50 percent figures at which an applicant may qualify as not a family member are: 

                  Metro:            $2,140
                  Non-Metro:   $2,040

Points of clarification: 

1. To qualify as "not a family member" an applicant must meet but not exceed the annual HHS figure for one person.  The six-month, 50% figures are based on the LLSIL figures.

2. Individuals with disabilities are automatically eligible for WIA as "not a family member" as long as their income does not exceed the income level for a family with one member.

3. Not a family member" means the same as "family of one", a phrase we no longer use.

4. Liveable wage is 185% of the HHS figure. 

* HHS refers to the Poverty Guidelines prepared annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
