EXAMPLE:  Jonathan applied for W-2 on May 5. Jonathan has a family size of three. The monthly 115% gross income limit for his family size is $2,554. At the time of application, his total income equaled $2,450 per month. Jonathan tells his worker that his $250 Unemployment Insurance will end effective June 30. In this example, Jonathan is financially ineligible for W-2 for both May and June and, unless Jonathan's income drops for some other reason, he would not be eligible for W-2 until July.
