The income calculation steps for GAMC and GHO are:

2. Compare the appropriate six-month income standard to the gross income to determine if the client is income eligible.
l The client is income eligible for GAMC if the client’s income is at or below the 75% FPG income standard.
l The client is income eligible for GHO if the client’s income exceeds the 75% FPG income standard but is less than the 175% FPG income standard.
l The client is not eligible for GHO if the client’s income exceeds 175% FPG .
