Pennsylvania EITC/OSTC Guidelines 2019/20

Pennsylvania residents are eligible for scholarships for their children based on the follow household income criteria:

Household income is less than $90,000.00 plus $15,842 for each qualifying dependent in the family in 2019–20.

For example:

A family with one qualifying dependent must have an income below $105,842 ($90,000 + $15,842 = $105,842)

A family with two qualifying dependents must have an income below $121,684 ($90,000 + $15,842 + $15,842 = $121,684)

A family with three qualifying dependents must have an income below $137,526 ($90,000 + $15,842 + $15,842 + $15,842 = $137,526)

In addition, if the applying family has a child that is considered disabled according to Pennsylvania EITC/OSTC law the qualifying dependent amount would by multiplied by 1.50 for a support level 1 disability and by 2.993 for a support level 2 disability.

For example:

A family with one qualifying dependent that has a support level 1 disability must have an income below $113,763 ($90,000 + $23,763 (15,842 x 1.50 = $23,763) = $113,763)

A family with one qualifying dependent that has a support level 2 disability must have an income below $137,415.11 ($90,000 + $15,842 (15,842 x 2.993 = $47,415.11) = $137,415.11)
