Section §: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

PovertyExemption was denied by the Board of Review December 9,2025 for reasons that his income exceeds township and federal guidelines for Poverty classificalion.

His income consists entirely of Social Security and Retirement account payments(TIAA/CREF}, 

Both o (hase payments are captured each month by Medcaid for use in defraying care expenses at the Emmet County Medical Care Facility. He receives $60.00/mo. rebate 

rom 

Medicald. 

His pet total annual income is therefore $720.00. This should certainly quality for Tax Relief under the Poverty Exemption, 

He is also 

a WWI! Veteran although not Disabled
