Client Income Eligibility Guidelines (50% of Maryland Median Income)

July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2007

The following income levels are based on household income information contained in the Federal Register, February 28, 2006, Vol. 71, No. 39, which states that the median income for a Maryland family of four is $87,972.

The figures below reflect 50% of the median family income for the State of Maryland, and establish maximum income levels for client eligibility. These guidelines are not intended to preclude a program from using lower eligibility levels, i.e., 125% of federal poverty scale, if otherwise necessary for compatibility with other funding requirements or program policies.

Also, grantees may adopt adjunct policies adjusting for such factors as fixed debts and medical expenses and other factors relevant to the client's ability to pay for legal services. All adjunct policies must be submitted to MLSC for review prior to implementation.
