Income
 

I agree the income SHOULD NOT be pro-rated for illegal aliens, it is unfair to Citizen families that actually need the help and are being denied for being over income.  For example for a household of 5 the income limit is $2,794.00, I had a case of 5 members 4 of which are illegal and they have a new born baby , their monthy income is $3,468.91 and out of that only $693.78 is countable because their income is pro-rated, which makes them eligible.  You take a US Citizen family with the same income and they will be denied for being over income.  This is very unfairm don't you think?
