That sentence, in plain words

This covers people who are 16 or older. They would count as getting a cash aid check, except that they earn too much.

What this is about

There is a monthly check for people with little money and a disability. Work pay can push a person over the line for it.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
