Our major funder, the Legal Services Corporation, requires that we serve only clients who meet certain income and asset tests.  Here are the maximum income levels.
 
Poverty Guidelines

Income before deductions cannot exceed 200% of FPL.

Income after deductions cannot exceed 125% of FPL.

Allowable deductions may include work-related expenses (child care, transportation, tools and equipment, uniforms, mandatory union dues and other expenses necessary for employment), fixed debts, rent, support payments (only for children not living in the household), past due unpaid taxes, currently or past due medical expenses and other expenses associated with age or physical infirmity of resident family members.

Some specially funded projects, such as our Tax Clinic, allow higher incomes.
