NOTE: . . . = not applicable.
a. The percentage of children receiving the full federal benefit rate, as shown in Table 17, is smaller than the percentage of those with no income, as shown here, because of the effect of parental deemed income in the payment computation.
b. Does not include income deemed from parents in the household.
c. The sum of the entries may be greater than the total because some recipients may receive more than one type of unearned income.
