NOTE:
These tables are extended to meet the
						needs of certain categorically eligible households. Therefore, the amounts
						shown on the tables are higher than the net income limits for some household
						sizes. Households must have incomes below the appropriate income limits unless
						exempt per Section
						444-8.
*
Maximum Gross and Net Monthly Income
						figures are not used for computing the benefit amount. They are included as a
