Gross Income Standard for Separate Household Status of Certain Elderly and Disabled Members

The gross income standard for separate household status of certain elderly and disabled persons is 165% of the Federal poverty limit.

A person who is 60 years of age or older living with others (and the spouse of such a person) who is unable to purchase and prepare meals because he suffers from a disability considered permanent under the Social Security Act may be a separate household from the other persons if the other persons' gross income does not exceed the 165% of the poverty limit.

If the gross income of the other household members exceeds the 165% of the poverty limit, the person cannot be granted separate household status. The 165% income eligibility limit for separate household status is as follows:
