Income Test

An income test is a qualification tool used by government programs and services to determine eligibility based on an individual's or household's income level. It assesses whether your total earnings, savings, and other income sources fall within specified limits set for a particular benefit or service. If your income is below the threshold, you may qualify for assistance or support; if above, you might not. This helps ensure resources are targeted toward those with greater financial need, making programs fair and efficient.
