Chair clarifies 300% means higher income
Won initially apologizes, then clarifies that 300% of the poverty line means higher income than 150%. Harry confirms 300% expands the population to higher incomes, and Won retracts her apology.
Also, I apologize.
I misunderstood, because I'm thinking about AMIs.
So 300% poverty line means that you're actually hiring people with lower income than 150%, correct?
So the range is anyone who is up to 300% of the federal poverty threshold.
And so I forget what the exact income is, the dollar amount.
And it varies, obviously, depending on household size.
But it is expanded.
So we're able to still hire people who are only at 100% or 150 or 250.
But 300% means that they are even lower income, correct?
It would mean that they are higher income.
So they're at 300% of the federal poverty level.
So I think it's about...
Okay.
A single household would be like an income of $47,000, $48,000.
And how much is $150,000?
It would be about half of that.
So we've expanded the population with the 300%.
Okay, so then my initial understanding was correct, that 300% below the poverty line means that they have a higher income.
Higher income, correct.
Okay, so I take it back.
I retract my apology.
Understood.
