Household size, monthly income, and household circumstances affect the official eligibility review and estimated benefit amount.

Expenses can affect the result

Rent, mortgage, utilities, dependent care, child support paid, and medical expenses for elderly or disabled household members can affect the estimate when allowed and verified.
