After talking with another guy in my class yesterday, he though the indigent application was only for people who are below the poverty line. Is that true? If that is true...how does one correct that issue if you make above poverty level?

Probably, but I would give them a call just in case. OR sending them a note with the check. An instructor on the forum will be able to advise you of the best thing to do.

P.S. The state already knows how much money you make. If you ever have gone to the unemployment office, they can pull up your stats in about ten seconds.

They know your wages reported by employers when the employers pay SUTA taxes. I don't think they can pull up self employment or investment income.
