Income is counted differently for different types of MaineCare coverage but here are some tips:
- If you have an employer who pays you wages, you should report the full amount, minus any pre-tax withholding (such as 401(k) or flexible spending accounts).
- If you are self-employed, report your net income (after business expenses and taxes).
- Child support will not be included as income.
- In some cases, if you receive alimony that will be included.
