HA

So Tom's income increased from 2004-2005, and I was checking WIC's website to see if we would still qualify. I missed our last appointment(Long story) and didn't reschedule because I'd have to bring income documentation, which for us is our income tax papers(since we don't have check stubs) and we just had our taxes done at the end of last weekend. It's funny sometimes to see what income levels different people classify as being poor at. Some people make quite a bit of money and still consider themselves to be "poor." There are many things that factor in, such as where you live. I once read an article where the comments from people debated how little/much you could make and be considered poor/middle class/rich. Interesting. Anyway, for those who are curious, this is how much you can make in PA to be considered poor enough for the Women, Infants, and Children program.
