No it does not.
Technically there is no maximum. Practically the maximum is controlled by the President. Currently NJ has approval for 350%. NJ is an exception, but 350% of poverty is real. I am not sure what Bush needs to apologize for.
Again, this program is simply to complicated and needs to be re-worked.

Currently, 18 states and the District of Columbia have eligibility levels above 200 percent of the poverty level. New Jersey is the highest at 350 percent. No other state is above 300 percent.

P.S. - Isn't poverty levels in Hawaii and Alaska higher than the rest of the nation? What are their rates for qualification? Where does their income levels fall?
