As of April 2023, this means a monthly gross household/family income as follows, based on the number of household members (x): 2,248 (1); $3,040 (2); $3,833 (3); $4,625 (4); $5,417 (5); $6,210 (6).

Members of your household include individuals who are on the same tax return. If you do not file taxes and are not on someone else’s return, the members of your household include your spouse and your children who live with you.

If you need help, you can ask a service agency if you can use their mailing address. If you don’t provide a mailing address, your card will be sent to your county’s main human services office.

You will need to upload supporting documents verifying gross income (pay stubs, letters from employers, benefit award letters, or other documents showing gross income) for each adult in the household.
