* A household of one means a child who is his or her sole support.
Foster children are one-member households only if the welfare or the placement
agency maintains legal responsibility for the child. Household is synonymous
with family and means a group of related or unrelated individuals who are not
residents of an institution or boarding house, but who are living as one
economic unit sharing housing and all significant income and expenses.
THIS SCALE DOES NOT APPLY TO HOUSEHOLDS THAT RECEIVE FOOD STAMP, Kin-GAP, OR
FDPIR BENEFITS OR CHILDREN WHO ARE RECIPIENTS OF CalWORKs. THOSE CHILDREN ARE
AUTOMATICALLY ELIGIBLE FOR FREE MEAL BENEFITS.
