FS 63-100 General Provisions - Department of Public Social Services

for an Intentional Program Violation
(IPV)
Income from Ineligible Non-
Citizens and Persons Disqualified
for Other Reasons
counted?
The non-excluded earned or unearned income of persons
disqualified for an IPV shall be counted in its entirety as
income to the remaining household members.
How is income from a ineligible non-citizen and other
person(s) disqualified counted?
Non-excluded earned and unearned income of ineligible
non-citizens (FS 63-403.2 Ineligible Non-Citizens), as
well as persons disqualified for failure to provide a Social
Security number (FS 63-404.4 Failure to Comply), is
prorated among all household members (including the
disqualified members and ineligible non-citizens). That
portion allocated to the Food Stamp eligible household
members is considered income.
EXAMPLE
A father is disqualified for failing to provide a Social
Security number. He has unearned income of $200 per
month. His son is disqualified because he is an ineligible
non-citizen. The Food Stamp household consists of the
eligible mother and 2 children. The income is computed
as follows:
$200 ) 5 = $ 40 (father and son included in
computation)
$ 40 x 3 = $120 (father and son excluded from
computation)
$120 = Unearned income to the Food Stamp household.
FS 63-502.2 - Income Exclusions
Vendor Payments
What is the definition of vendor payment?
A money payment that is “legally obligated” to the
household, and would be “otherwise payable to the
household,” which is paid to a 3 rd party for a household
expense is income to the household and not a vendor
payment.
• “Legally obligated” means there is a court order, a
law or a legal contract that orders the payment.
• “Otherwise payable to the household” means that if
the payer did not make the vendor payment he/she
would have to give the money to the household.
