HOUSEHOLD SIZE MONTHLY INCOME CHART Each year the Federal Department of Health and Human Services publishes the federal poverty level and the State’s median income. These figures are used to update Nevada’s Household Size Monthly Income Chart annually with an effective date of October 1st. To determine the level of benefits a household is eligible for, the case manager must first determine the household size and the countable income. Under each household size heading on the Household Size Monthly Income Chart, the applicable income range is listed. On the far right of the table is the co- payment percentage the family is responsible for contributing to the cost of care for their child(ren). See MS 181 for more information on the Family’s Co-Payment Contribution.
