Income Flowchart

Follow the flowchartflowchart to determine which income type should be used:

Example 1

Maria files taxes as Head of Household and claims one child as a dependent. She reports PAI of $24,240 and CMI of $1,900 for a HH of 2. The PAI works out to $2,020 monthly which is e-verified and qualifies the child for T1. The CMI is not e-verified, but would qualify the child for T2. Both are under MAGI limits, but CMI qualifies the child for a non-premium aid code. A request is sent for CMI verification and Maria provides verification. Only CMI will be entered in CalSAWS and used to determine eligibility.
