If your household income is 200% or less than the Federal Poverty Guidelines or someone in your household participates in certain government assistance programs, you may be eligible for the benefits the ACP provides.
I guess you get the computer from Best Buy during a Mostly Peaceful Protest???
If the poverty level is $30K, isn’t 200% of that -$30K?Most people kept it simple and just looted during “Mostly Peaceful Protests
Last I looked before inflation took off the poverty level for a single person was just over $12k a year. So 200% would be a little more than $24k. For a single person. For a couple most likely under $20k.If the poverty level is $30K, isn’t 200% of that -$30K?
This makes no sense…
Oh, I get it now. I was looking at the wording wrong.Last I looked before inflation took off the poverty level for a single person was just over $12k a year. So 200% would be a little more than $24k. For a single person. For a couple most likely under $20k.
You've probablyed up if you're a Democrat and the Washington Post's Editorial Board is after you.
Opinion | Biden's student loan forgiveness is an expensive, regressive mistake - The Washington Post
"Widely canceling student loan debt is regressive. It takes money from the broader tax base, mostly made up of workers who did not go to college, to subsidize the education debt of people with valuable degrees. Though Mr. Biden’s plan includes an income cap, the threshold does not reflect need or earnings potential, meaning white-collar professionals with high future salaries stand to benefit. Student loans, moreover, are a poor proxy for household income: An analysis by policy researcher Jason D. Delisle found that, in 2016, students from high-income and low-income families were just as likely to take on debt for their first year in an undergraduate program — and students from high-income families borrowed the largest amounts.
Mr. Biden’s plan is also expensive — and likely inflationary. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that extending the loan pause to the end of the year would cost $20 billion, while forgiving $10,000 for households making less than $300,000 would cost $230 billion. Together, these policies would nullify nearly a decade’s worth of deficit reduction from the Inflation Reduction Act. Moreover, it is unclear that the 1965 Higher Education Act even grants the president the legal authority to take such a sweeping step, given that it was historically understood to permit only more targeted relief."

I've known a few teachers who have left the job--- not because of pay or benefits but because they were tired of dealing with kids who were out of control.Never did like the system in America.
Maybe that's what's wrong now. If you teach, you have to love it, because you're on starvation wages.
Pay them. That way, you get quality people.
Great teachers end up at factories and driving trucks.
Don't forget out of control parents.I've known a few teachers who have left the job--- not because of pay or benefits but because they were tired of dealing with kids who were out of control.
