Eligible Attendant CareThe family determines the type of attendant care that is appropriate for the person withdisabilities.PHA PolicyAttendant care includes, but is not limited to, reasonable costs for home medical care,nursing services, in-home or center-based care services, interpreters for persons withhearing impairments, and readers for persons with visual disabilities.Attendant care expenses will be included for the period that the person enabled to work isemployed plus reasonable transportation time. The cost of general housekeeping andpersonal services is not an eligible attendant care expense. However, if the personenabled to work is the person with disabilities, personal services necessary to enable theperson with disabilities to work are eligible.If the care attendant also provides other services to the family, the PHA will prorate thecost and allow only that portion of the expenses attributable to attendant care that enablesa family member to work. For example, if the care provider also cares for a child who isnot the person with disabilities, the cost of care must be prorated. Unless otherwisespecified by the care provider, the calculation will be based upon the number of hoursspent in each activity and/or the number of persons under care.Payments to Family MembersNo disability assistance expenses may be deducted for payments to a member of an assistedfamily [24 CFR 5.603(b)]. However, expenses paid to a relative who is not a member of theassisted family may be deducted if they are not reimbursed by an outside source.Necessary and Reasonable ExpensesThe family determines the type of care or auxiliary apparatus to be provided and must describehow the expenses enable a family member to work. The family must certify that the disabilityassistance expenses are necessary and are not paid or reimbursed by any other source.PHA PolicyThe PHA determines the reasonableness of the expenses based on typical costs of care orapparatus in the locality. To establish typical costs, the PHA will collect informationfrom organizations that provide services and support to persons with disabilities. Afamily may present, and the PHA will consider, the family’s justification for costs thatexceed typical costs in the area.Families That Qualify for Both Medical and Disability Assistance ExpensesPHA PolicyThis policy applies only to families in which the head or spouse is 62 or older or is aperson with disabilities.© Copyright 2008 Nan McKay & Associates, Inc.

When expenses anticipated by a family could be defined as either medical or disabilityassistance expenses, the PHA will consider them medical expenses unless it is clear thatthe expenses are incurred exclusively to enable a person with disabilities to work.6-II.F. CHILD CARE EXPENSE DEDUCTIONHUD defines child care expenses at 24 CFR 5.603(b) as “amounts anticipated to be paid by thefamily for the care of children under 13 years of age during the period for which annual incomeis computed, but only where such care is necessary to enable a family member to actively seekemployment, be gainfully employed, or to further his or her education and only to the extent suchamounts are not reimbursed. The amount deducted shall reflect reasonable charges for childcare.In the case of child care necessary to permit employment, the amount deducted shall not exceedthe amount of employment income that is included in annual income.”Clarifying the Meaning of Child for This DeductionChild care expenses do not include child support payments made to another on behalf of a minorwho is not living in an assisted family’s household [VG, p. 26]. However, childcare expenses forfoster children that are living in the assisted family’s household are included when determiningthe family’s childcare expenses [HCV GB, p. 5-29].Qualifying for the DeductionDetermining Who Is Enabled to Pursue an Eligible ActivityPHA PolicyThe family must identify the family member(s) enabled to pursue an eligible activity. Theterm eligible activity in this section means any of the activities that may make the familyeligible for a child care deduction (seeking work, pursuing an education, or beinggainfully employed).In evaluating the family’s request, the PHA will consider factors such as how theschedule for the claimed activity relates to the hours of care provided, the time requiredfor transportation, the relationship of the family member(s) to the child, and any specialneeds of the child that might help determine which family member is enabled to pursuean eligible activity.Seeking WorkPHA PolicyIf the childcare expense being claimed is to enable a family member to seek employment,the family must provide evidence of the family member’s efforts to obtain employment ateach reexamination. The deduction may be reduced or denied if the family member’s jobsearch efforts are not commensurate with the childcare expense being allowed by thePHA.© Copyright 2008 Nan McKay & Associates, Inc.
