Comment Period | Ended on 1/17/2014 |
The income of ineligible / illegal / undocumented immigrants should be counted in full, just as the income of citizens. It is wrong for citizens to be penalized for excess income and yet ineligible / illegal / undocumented residents are able to receive benefits for their households because of proration of income.
