income supplement
Additional money source
An income supplement is money provided to boost earnings that fall below a certain threshold, typically from government programs designed to help low-income individuals or families meet basic needs.
The term encompasses various forms of assistance, from tax credits to direct payments, that add to rather than replace existing income.
Many working families qualify for an income supplement through the tax code.
