Sharon and two kids makes 3 people total with both kids being under 18, the poverty level from the table is $20,231

She gets $1000 a month for her kids. 1000 x 12 months = $12,000 per year

12,000 + her annual salary = 12,000 + 16,000 = $28,000 per year.

28,000 is greater than 20,231 so she is not living in poverty.

The answer is no
