short version of means test

[eko976]

Hi
If my income is under the state median, why my lawyer says I still has to fill out a short version of means test?

Many people misunderstand and believe that under-the-median income filers do not submit a Means Test (Official Form B22A), when they absolutely need to. The Means Test has several sections. Under-the-median filers will end up filling out Part I, II and III and stopping there, if their "current monthly income" is below the State median for a family of their size.

I don't know why it keeps being said that an under-the-median income earner does not need to do the means test. That's exactly how they find out that you're under-the-median... by completing Part I, II and III of the Means Test.

Thank you for quick answer
I asked, because I didn't know that fact. Now I know.
