Info

G. MINIMUM INCOME There is no minimum income requirement. Families who report zero income are required to undergo an annual recertification every six months. Families who report zero earned income must notify the PHA within 30 days of receipt of any earned income and/or benefits from a governmental agency or corporation. If the family's expenses exceed their known income, the PHA may make inquiry of the head of household as to the nature of the family's accessible resources. H. INCOME OF PERSON PERMANENTLY CONFINED TO NURSING HOME[24 CFR 982.54(d) (10)] If a family member is permanently confined to a hospital or nursing home and there is a family member left in the household, the PHA will calculate the income by using the following methodology: Exclude the income of the person permanently confined to the nursing home and give the family no deductions for medical expenses of the confined family member. I. REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS AND GIFTS [24 CFR 5.609] Regular contributions and gifts received from persons outside the household are counted as income for calculation of the Total Tenant Payment. Any contribution or gift received every month or more frequently will be considered a "regular" contribution or gift, and must be reported. This includes rent and utility payments made on behalf of the family and other cash or non-cash contributions provided on a regular basis. It does not include casual contributions or sporadic gifts. (See "Verification Procedures" chapter for further definition.) If the family’s expenses exceed its known income, the PHA will inquire of the family regarding contributions and gifts. J. ALIMONY AND CHILD SUPPORT [24 CFR 5.609] Regular alimony and child support payments are counted as income for calculation of Total Tenant Payment. If the amount of child support or alimony received is less than the amount awarded by the court, the PHA will use the amount awarded by the court unless the family can verify that they are not receiving the full amount by providing the item(s) listed below: Verification from the agency responsible for enforcement or collection.

K. REMOVAL OF SPOUSE FROM FAMILY UNIT It is the family's responsibility to supply a copy of: 1) The pertinent pages of the divorce decree/separation papers or 2) An Affidavit of Separation L. LUMP-SUM RECEIPTS [24 CFR 5.609] Lump-sum additions to Family assets, such as inheritances, insurance payments (including payments under health and accident insurance and worker's compensation), capital gains, and settlement for personal or property losses, are not included in income but may be included in assets, and must be reported at the annual re-exam. Lump-sum payments caused by delays in processing periodic payments such as unemployment or welfare assistance are counted as income. Lump sum payments from Social Security or SSI are excluded from income, but any amount remaining will be considered an asset. Deferred periodic payments which have accumulated due to a dispute will be treated the same as periodic payments which are deferred due to delays in processing. In order to determine amount of retroactive tenant rent that the family owes as a result of the lump sum receipt, the PHA uses a calculation method which calculates retroactively or prospectively depending on the circumstances. Prospective Calculation Methodology If the payment is reported on a timely basis, the calculation will be done prospectively and will result in an interim adjustment calculated as follows: The lump sum will be added in the same way for any interims which occur prior to the next annual recertification. Retroactive Calculation Methodology If the payment is not reported on a timely basis, the PHA will go back to the date the lump-sum payment was received, or to the date of admission, whichever is closer. At the PHA’s option, the PHA may enter into a Payment Agreement with the family. The amount owed by the family is a collectible debt even if the family becomes unassisted. Attorney Fees The family's attorney fees may be deducted from lump-sum payments when computing annual income if the attorney's efforts have recovered a lump-sum compensation, and the recovery paid to the family does not include an additional amount in full satisfaction of the attorney fees.
