<p>Kels,</p>
<p>Do you think that now with the IRS data retrieval/non-filers statement, young pregnant women would be required show more to prove self sufficiency? For example, if some one has a non-filer’s statement, they would prompt some kind of low income flag.</p>
<p>I know that I have had students who have received a combination of public assistance, food stamps and WIC as part of their 51% while living with others. However, I have also seen where minors were still considered to be dependent on their parents and they were not eligible for benefits (other than WIC and medical benefits for the child) if they were still living with parents.</p>
