Yes, wages are so low in many places that a parent supporting a family on a single income falls below many means-tested thresholds.
$27k is $13 an hour, assuming 40 hour weeks 52 weeks a year with no days off. This is below minimum wage where I live.

Well yeah, that's the whole point of having a means tested benefits program. If nobody qualified it would be pretty useless. But you can get subsidies up to an income of like $200,000.

Weird because it seems like you understand how these programs benefit low income people, but just two comments ago you said they were for the kids of rich people only.

No, this GRAPH is only for rich people. It's pointless
