Entitlement Grant

Where to get Federal Entitlements

Before you go on, take a look at the Federal Poverty Guidelines in the previous
section. Figure 150% of those incomes. Because If your family income is less than
or even $1000 above those guidelines, you just may be qualified for a lot of
entitlements (which is obviously good news)
But If your income is greatly higher than the guidelines, you can pretty much skip
this whole section of the guide.
If it looks like you fall into the guidelines, go to

Grant or Entitlement? Which one is quicker?

Ok, one more thing you should know is that the ideal situation for receiving a
grant is when you don’t really need the money immediately. Grants usually take a
while, they are not instant. If you are getting by fine and have some time to wait,
then a grant is for you.

Income range (2003 HHS Poverty Guidelines) for entitlement grant

Let’s talk it out and see which way of getting some extra money for your family’s
goals is most appropriate for you.
If you need the money right away and your family has an income above the
Federal Poverty Line, (see below) a loan is probably the right way for you to go.

You probably don’t qualify for very many, if any, entitlements and a grant is a
longer process than you want to undertake if you need the money quickly. Check
the chart above to see where your family stands.

Loan is different from government’s entitlement grant

Loans obviously have one major fundamental difference: Loans are money that
you have to pay back and there is an interest charge. There are federally
guaranteed loans for just about any purpose. If you are starting a business, there
is a low, cost, minimum requirement loan for you. If you are going to college,
there are loans for you. If you are buying a house, there’s a loan.
You should know the difference between entitlement grant and loan…
