Current through September 24, 2024
A. This type of assistance is defined as follows:
1. Some
governmental assistance programs require that certain recipients work in
exchange for the assistance provided. Most often the amount of the assistance
payment is divided by the minimum wage and the recipient required to perform
some service for the resulting number of hours. Usually a participant in such a
work program is given money to cover any expenses incurred (e.g., carfare,
special clothing, miscellaneous, etc.).
B. This type of assistance is treated as follows:
1. The payment in such situations is
an assistance payment and is not earned income. The fact that an individual is
required to work in exchange for an income based on need or assistance based on
need payment does not change the nature of the payment.
