None of this is fun. I've done it the last two years.
This is true. Under approx $57K joint income you can get assistance and it is substantial the less your income is below $57K. You project your income forward I.E. not based on previous tax year. Be careful if you go over your projection you can get a substantial penalty. There are ways to limit your income like home equity instead of 401K withdrawals.
