The transfers that can be included are: TANF, food stamps, subsidized child care, subsidized housing, Medicaid, SCHIP, and WIC. The Calculator then displays the financial impacts of the man and woman living apart, cohabiting that is reported to government programs, cohabiting that is not reported to government programs, and getting married, taking into account both taxes and the selected transfer programs.
