Every government page the calculator's figures come from, with what each one gives us and the day we checked it.

Where every figure comes from: a line of a family's money left each month as its pay rises, dropping where a benefit ends
Every government page the figures come from.

Every figure the calculator and the pages use comes from a government source: a federal regulation or law, a federal agency’s yearly notice or table, or a state agency’s own page or manual. This page lists them all, grouped by program, with the day we last checked each one. If a figure here looks out of date, please tell us.
