<strong>Chapter</strong> 3 – Verification, Income, Assets, and Allowances [24 CFR Part 5, Subparts D & E; Part 982, Subpart D & L] 1) Childcare to Work: The maximum childcare expense allowed must be less than the amount earned by the person enabled to work. The "person enabled to work" will be the adult member of the household who earns the least amount of income from working; a) Childcare for School: The number of hours claimed for childcare may not exceed the number of hours the family member is attending school, including reasonable travel time to and from school; or b) Childcare for Seeking Employment: The number of hours claimed for childcare may not exceed 20 hours per week. O. VERIFICATION OF CHILD CARE EXPENSES Written verification from the person who receives the payments is required. Verifications must specify the child care provider's name, address, telephone number, the names of the children cared for, the number of hours the child care occurs, the rate of pay, and the typical yearly amount paid, including school and vacation periods. Family's certification as to whether any of those payments have been or will be paid or reimbursed by outside sources. P. MEDICAL EXPENSES [24 CFR 5.609, 5.603] Anticipated medical expenses will be calculated by using one of the two following methods, (whichever is more beneficial to the family); 1. Current Circumstances: Use the family’s current medical bills, accumulated over the last twelve months, as anticipated medical expenses. 2. Estimated Circumstances: Estimate the cost of medical bills based on current or anticipated medical bills that will be on-going expenses. Examples of allowable medical expenses include: - Services of doctors and health care professionals - Services of health care facilities - Medical insurance premiums - Prescription medicines - Nonprescription medicines will be counted toward medical expenses for families who qualify if the family furnishes legible receipts when prescribed by a physician - Transportation to treatment (cab fare, bus fare, mileage) - Dental expenses, eyeglasses, hearing aids, batteries - Live-in or periodic medical assistance - Acupressure, acupuncture, and chiropractic services will be considered allowable medical expenses - Non-traditional treatments, vitamins and herbal supplements will be considered medical expenses if prescribed by a doctor 3-24
<strong>Chapter</strong> 3 – Verification, Income, Assets, and Allowances [24 CFR Part 5, Subparts D & E; Part 982, Subpart D & L] - Medical marijuana usage is not allowable as a medical expense When it is unclear in the HUD rules as to whether or not to allow an item as a medical expense, IRS Publication 502 will be used as a guide. Receipts or other record of medical expenses paid by the family during the previous year (appointment date to appointment date, or in the case of mail-in annual reexaminations, due date to due date) can be used to anticipate future medical expenses. If an applicant/participant will become entitled to a deduction, medical expenses will be anticipated based on verifications provided. SDHC will not duplicate a medical expense that was already allowed during the prior year. 1. Verification of Medical Expenses Families may only claim medical expenses that have not been and will not be reimbursed by an outside source. All expense claims will be verified by one or more of the methods listed below: - Written verification by a doctor, hospital or clinic personnel, dentist, pharmacist, of: - The anticipated medical costs to be incurred by the family and regular payments due on medical bills; and - Extent to which those expenses will be reimbursed by insurance or a government agency; - Written confirmation by the insurance company or employer of health insurance premiums paid by the family; - Written confirmation from the Social Security Administration of Medicare premiums to be paid by the family over the next 12 months. A computer printout will be accepted; - Receipts from medical professionals, canceled checks, or pay stubs that verify medical costs and insurance expenses likely to be incurred in the next 12 months. When using these receipts to verify medical expenses, receipts must indicate the name of the provider, name of patient, date of purchase/transaction, service/product provided, and amount paid by patient. If the receipt comes from an individual, for example a care-provider, the receipt should also provide the address and phone number as contact information; - Receipts for non prescription medicines, non-traditional treatments, vitamins and herbal supplements must be in conjunction with a prescription from a physician for expenses likely to be incurred in the next 12 months; - Copies of payment agreements or most recent invoice that verify payments made on outstanding medical bills that will continue over all or part of the next 12 months; - Receipts or other record of medical expenses incurred during the past 12 months that can be used to anticipate future medical expenses. SDHC may use this approach for "general medical expenses" such as non-prescription drugs and regular visits to doctors or dentists, but not as reimbursement for one-time expenses from the previous year; or - Mileage at the IRS rate, or cab, bus fare, or other public transportation cost for verification of the cost of transportation directly related to medical treatment. For attendant care: - A reliable, knowledgeable professional's certification that the assistance of an attendant is necessary as a medical expense and a projection of the number of hours the care is needed for calculation purposes; and 3-25
