This chart wouldn't take into account the various subsidies you would get if you were actually making $13/hr as a single parent -- housing assistance, food stamps, medicaid, welfare itself, etc. The effective income -- after all assistance is accounted for -- is going be far higher than the quoted hourly wage.
- maxerickson 11y agoAt $13 an hour, TANF (the best match on "Welfare") would not be available. $25,000 per year is in the taper for the EIC, but would qualify for ~$2000 each of the first two children and a bit more for a third. In some states, $25,000 per year would also disqualify a family of 4 from Medicaid (but ACA subsidies would still apply).
