I was told when I registered in April for NY Rising that income tax information was only needed if you checked the low income box and that awards were not based upon income. Even if the govt. desires to give half the money to low income home owners, there likely is to be a problem in doing so. Income levels include students working during the summer, people for whatever reason who take part time jobs, people who have lost their jobs, etc. Homeowners are likely to be older, most probably married with dual incomes, etc. By virtue of the fact that they were able to buy a home (forgetting about the short period of time when there were sub-prime loans) places them in all probability above the low income level. And of course as someone else pointed out, you could have a "high" income in 2012 and no income at all in 2013.
