[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whew. What a thread.

One poster brought up the fact that a woman with six kids (so a family of seven) making $100,000 could qualify for government assistance - and another poster said that in no way is that type of money eligible for government assistance. (I am neither poster.) So, I was curious and looked it up. One program, for food stamps, shows that if a family of seven has an income less than $48,000 (about), they'll qualify for snap. Couldn't find anywhere that gives food stamps to families making 100k.

This is by jurisdiction.  And not all government aid comes in the form of SNAP.  Various forms of aid/subsidy/programs have higher or lower income limits depending on what it is.  For example, subsidized housing in FFX.  And, to note, there are different programs with different levels of qualifying income for that too.  I believe I've seen income cut offs in the 80ks for larger families.  So yes, CLOSE to 100k but not quite.

And, I don't live in Cali, but HUD there have qualified 100k as "lower income" however I do not know whether this designation means you qualify for subsidies.[/quote]

In DC you can get subsidy for 80 k hhi
