M: Yes. I think my wife and I may qualify since she’s still in graduate school. But I was wondering whether there were any other requirements.
W: Well, unless you have more than one child, you have to have a combined annual income that’s less than 5,000 dollars.
M: I’m working as a part-time research assistant so that’s no problem. But right now we’re living with my wife’s parents. Does that mean we have to include their income too?
W: Not necessarily. Why don’t you stop by our office so I can give you some forms to fill out and explain everything in more detail?
M: That sounds like a good idea. Would tomorrow morning be all right?
W: I think the afternoon might be better. You know it can be pretty crazy around here on a Friday morning.
M: All right then. I’ll try to make it in the afternoon. Is there anyone special I should ask for?
W: You can ask for me, Susan Davidson, or my assistant Bill Brown. We’ll be glad to give you any help you need.
