Remember that USDA does allow for the total household income to be higher than these income limits provided that certain adjustments or reduction to income can be made including:

  • Documentable childcare expenses for children age 12 and under
  • $480 per child for anyone under 18
  • $480 for any student other then one of the applicants
  • $400 for each disabled or handicapped individual who is not one of the applicants
  • Medical expenses for any elderly family member
These adjustments can be used to lower the gross household income to an amount that is less than the above mentioned maximum gross income.
