What kinds of things are counted as income?
. All income that a household receives must be reported as income (Examples: self-employment income or wages earned from an employer). Unearned income such as unemployment, child support and social security are all considered income. Verification of income should be submitted with the application. Families should send in copies of the previous month’s paycheck stubs and report any expected income differences. If an individual does not receive paycheck stubs, Healthy Steps will accept a signed letter from an employer stating what the gross monthly salary and withholdings are.
