Can I qualify based on my income instead of a program?

Yes — you can qualify with proof of household income at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, even if you don’t participate in a program.

Accepted proof of income

• Prior-year state or federal tax return
• Three consecutive months of recent pay stubs
• Social Security or other benefit statement
• Unemployment or Veterans benefits statement

How the income limit works

The 135% limit is based on your household size — the more people in your household, the higher the qualifying income limit.
