All that, yes!

There's even more:
- Families just above the threshold and not entitled to meals would end up worse off than those just below, creating resentment.
- Families with variable income would feel penalised if they have a good month that gets them over the limit, stressing out if they get more jobs.
- And with a threshold comes possible penalties for incorect reporting... So people with variable income face an extra risk if making honest mistakes by a few dollars.
