West Virginia. They said I cannot have more than approx. $2200 a month income for my son to qualify for the state health insurance programs like Chips etc. When I gave them all of my numbers they told me that my "personal income that I receive is the gross total before any business expenses".. I've looked at dozens of things online that say otherwise though. And, they have said they don't know anything about LLC's, sole proprietorships or pass through entities. It really seems to me that these state departments seem to do and follow whatever brain fart they have, regardless of the actual law, and don't seem to care about finding out the truth about what they are talking about. According to what I have seen online multiple places, my income would be after my business expenses, because those expenses are required in order to have my business to provide an income. Plus, we get taxed on our income which is figured as what's leftover after business expenses. It is so challenging dealing with this state government sometimes! It's like they really don't know what they're doing or talking about and they are all just playing pretend.
Side note: They also argued and demanded when I started my business that I HAVE TO collect and pay sales tax, even though my business is exempt from doing so, per state law, which I had to go and search through all of the state's legislature to prove them wrong. They ended up saying "Oh whoops ok then nevermind".
They also told my ex that she had to have 7 years total of college to transfer her Funeral Directors license here, which the law plainly states that it's EITHER a 3 year mortuary science degree OR a 4 year degree with an approved internship. The head of that licensing department has since been fired for illegaly denying potentially hundreds of people from getting their FD license here...
