Eligibility
This is not an income-based program; anyone may qualify. However, if the adjusted gross income for the household is greater than the maximums listed in the table below, an IRS 1099 Miscellaneous Income Form will be issued. If there is not enough income to file taxes, a signed and notarized statement of such will be required.
