INCOME FROM EXCLUDED SOURCESA detailed discussion of excluded income is provided in Chapter 6, Part I.The PHA must obtain verification for income exclusions only if, without verification, the PHAwould not be able to determine whether the income is to be excluded. For example: If a family’s16 year old has a job at a fast food restaurant, the PHA will confirm that PHA records verify thechild’s age but will not send a verification request to the restaurant. However, if a family claimsthe earned income disallowance for a source of income, both the source and the income must beverified.PHA PolicyThe PHA will reconcile differences in amounts reported by the third party and the familyonly when the excluded amount is used to calculate the family share (as is the case withthe earned income disallowance). In all other cases, the PHA will report the amount to beexcluded as indicated on documents provided by the family.7-III.I. ZERO ANNUAL INCOME STATUSPHA PolicyThe PHA will check UIV sources and/or request information from third-party sources toverify that certain forms of income such as unemployment benefits, TANF, SSI, etc., arenot being received by families claiming to have zero annual income.© Copyright 2008 Nan McKay & Associates, Inc.Page 7-21Revised/Approved 04/08/10 (Eff: 07/01/10)Unlimited copies may be made for internal use.
