> including bonuses that you are elegible for, but might not actually get

This does not seem to be true. https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/FactSheet62/whdfs62Q... says:

  Cash bonuses and similar compensation may be counted
  or credited toward the $60,000 only if payment is
  assured.

and it's not clear to me that the proposed updates change anything about that other than the numeric value.
