(2) The department will adjust the family
				  participation amount determined under (1) of this subsection according to the
				  election district in which the custodial parent or guardian of the child has
				  his or her residence for voting purposes. The department will multiply the
				  family participation amount by the following factors:
Residence in Election District Factor District 1 1.45 2
					 1.15 3 1.40 4 1.40 5 1.40 6 1.15 7 - 15 1.50 16 1.40 17 1.20 18 - 21 1.40 22
					 1.00 23 1.05 24 1.00 25 1.10 26 1.05 27 1.25
(3) If family size exceeds 12 members, the
				  department will calculate the yearly participation amount by reducing adjusted
				  income by $1,200 for each additional member and using the participation amount
				  for a family of 12 with the reduced adjusted income;
(4) If adjusted income exceeds $37,800, the
				  department will calculate the yearly participation amount as follows:
(A) for a household with one member, by
				  multiplying the adjusted income of the family by
(i) four percent for adjusted incomes that
				  exceed $37,800 but that do not exceed $50,000;
(ii) an additional two percent for each
				  $5,000 in excess of $45,001;
(B) for a household of more than one, by
				  subtracting $1,200 from the adjusted income of the family for each additional
				  member of the household and multiplying the remainder as described in (A) of
				  this paragraph; however, if application of this formula produces an income of
				  $37,800 or less, family income amount will be calculated from the chart at (1)
				  of this subsection rather than by multiplication as described in (A) of this
				  paragraph;
(5) If more
				  than one child in a family is eligible for services under this chapter, the
				  family participation amount is the same as it would be if there were only one
				  eligible child.
