Exceptions to Income Eligibility
- Medical and Social Services:
- In Texas, medical care and services, as well as social services, are not considered income for certain eligibility determinations.
- State SSI Supplements:
- Payments from state SSI supplements are typically not included in the income calculations for SSI eligibility.
- HUD Guidelines:
- HUD excludes certain income sources from eligibility determinations, such as food stamps, payments to volunteers under the Domestic Volunteer Services Act, and income derived from certain submarginal land held in trust for Indian tribes.
- Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC):
- While not an eligibility exception per se, the EITC has specific rules that allow low- to moderate-income individuals to claim credits based on their earned income, not all types of income.
- General Exclusions:
- Proceeds from the sale of a resource and proceeds of a loan are generally not considered income for eligibility purposes.
These exceptions can vary based on the specific program and jurisdiction.
