Gross income, net income, disregarded income, excluded income, earned and unearned income are defined in the policy of each specific program. Income eligibility limits vary from program to program. For each Medicaid eligibility group and for the Delaware Healthy Children Program, all wages paid by the U.S. Census Bureau for temporary employment related to Decennial Census activities are excluded in years in which there is a federal census. 12 DE Reg. 1416 (05/01/09) 14720 Resources Resources vary from program to program.
