• How is Household Income Calculated? Household income is calculated based on the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) methodology. Household income is the sum of the MAGI-based income of every individual included in the individual’s household. The total income of a household will equal the MAGI of all individuals in the household size regardless of whether or not they file taxes.
• How is Family Size Determined? 

  Family size is the number of persons counted as members of an individual’s household. The family size of the household is determined by counting those who are included on the family federal income tax form. The number of individuals expected to be claimed on the federal income tax return determines family size.
