The term "Gross Family Income" means all monies received by the family before income taxes or deductions.
"Family" includes all persons living in the same dwelling and related by blood, marriage, common-law or adult interdependent relationship, or adoption. In the case of common-law and adult interdependent relationships, common-law spouses, adult interdependent partners, and their dependents are considered family. In the case of a minor, unless the young person lives independently, it is the income of the minor's parents or guardians which determines eligibility.
