citizen? |

reduced price meals. |

living in your household, related or not (such as grandparents,
other relatives, or friends). You must include yourself and all
children who live with you. |
| What if my income is not always the same? |
| List the amounts that you
normally get. For example, if you normally get $1000 each
month, but you missed some work last month and only got $900, put
down that you get $1000 per month. If you normally get
overtime, include it, but not if you get it only some of the time. |
| We are in the military. Do we include our housing
allowance as income? |
| If your housing is part of
the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your
housing allowance as income. All other allowances must be
included in your gross income. |
