_{¹Gross monthly income includes basic salary and extra wages such as overtime pay and bonuses.
²Persons with disabilities, workers who qualify for ComCare Short-to-Medium-Term Assistance and caregivers of care recipients (generally include caregivers residing with care recipients who are medically certified to have permanent moderate to severe disabilities) will qualify for concessionary WIS, even if they earn less than $500. More details on the concessionary WIS for caregivers will be provided later.
³In addition, you must earn an average gross monthly income of not more than $2,500 (previously $2,300) in the past 12 months.}

However, you will not qualify for WIS if you:
