Gross Countable Income

For every individual in the income unit whose income is counted, carry out the following steps:

  1. Calculate individual's countable gross unearned income from all sources
  2. Add deemable income, if any, to the individual's unearned income
  3. Add individual's countable gross unearned income to other household member's countable gross unearned income
  4. Calculate the individual's countable gross earned income from all sources including income from self employment
  5. Add individual's countable gross earned income to other household member's countable gross earned income
  6. Combine the household's total gross unearned income and the total gross earned income to determine the household's total gross income

The household's monthly gross countable income is equal or less than 185% of the monthly Standard Needs Budget for the household size.
