About Us

Qualifyably looks at how eligibility decisions are made for public benefits, insurance subsidies and discount programs. We leave application steps to others and focus on the tests underneath: how income is counted, who counts as part of a household, which asset limits apply, what documents are usually required, and how thresholds are set and adjusted over time.

The site is useful if you want to understand the logic of an eligibility decision before it is made. It is also written for caseworkers, advocates and researchers who want a readable reference to how these tests generally work. We describe common patterns and rules of thumb, not the exact requirements of any single program in any single place.

All of this is general information about how eligibility rules tend to operate. It is not legal, financial or benefits advice and should not be used as the basis for a specific eligibility decision. For an actual determination, consult the official rules and staff of the program concerned.
