Counting of Income for Illegal Aliens
 

It is past due time for this policy to be changed.  It is extremely unfair to citizens and applicants with legal status that get denied because of income yet a family where the parents are illegal can make more than the income limit yet the children can still receive benefits because of proration - how is this fair when the parents income is available to the entire household unit just like any other  case?
