That would not happen, they can't just selectively increase the rebate. Any increase would be to all people across the country and that would be based on the poverty limit.An interesting thing is that the Poverty Guidelines are different for Alaska and Hawaii than for the other 48 states. Alaska's is about 25% higher and Hawaii's is about 15%. I haven't been able to find out if their Family Consumption Allowance will be higher than the rest of ours.
Considering that Alaska and Hawaii are part of the US, I am going to guess that they will have the same levels.
I really don't know why. I live in Hawaii, and I can tell you that prices aren't that different than San Francisco's. There's more of a price difference between all of California and West Virginia than there is between Hawaii and California. I think it's a result of:
1. A one-party state in Hawaii ran by scandal-plagued Japanese demcocrats.
2. Republican Pork Kings in Alaska.
