Like the Randolph-Sheppard Act program, many of these State programs provide the blind vendor with income from vending machines that are located on the same property but are operated independently of the blind vendor’s vending facility business. The income that blind self-employed vendors receive under the RandolphSheppard Act (and similar State programs) from vending machines that are located on the same property, but are not serviced, operated, or maintained by the blind vendor, is not a measure of a blind vendor’s own productivity. It does not represent the actual value of any part of the blind vendor’s work activity. Since the income a blind vendor receives under this provision of the RandolphSheppard Act (or similar State programs) is independent of his or her own vending business, and cannot be attributed to the blind vendor’s own work activity, we will not consider this income when we determine whether the self-employment work activity is SGA. We will deduct this income from the blind vendor’s net income before we apply the SGA earnings guidelines.
