The petitioners household has 2 in the household with income reported of $1601.00 +$1480.00 = $3081 per month or $36,972 a year. the income limit for 2 in the household is $21,150. Even if we considered 1 income in the family her income exceeds the income limit to qualify for a poverty exemption by the township guidelines. Her income is $19,212 per year and income limit to qualify is $15,650. She talked to someone at county who just told her she would qualify, but based on the townships poverty exemption guidelines she does not meet the income and therefore the Board of Review denied her based on exceeding income limits.
