___________________________________________________________
A payment made by a person or organization on behalf of an assistance group, when the payment is made directly to another party with whom the assistance group has incurred an expense. If a payment for shelter is being vendored, see Income-in-Kind (Provided Shelter) in this section.
Treatment: Excluded Income
Exception:
• If the vendor payment is for an expense recognizable as deduction (i.e., child care), subtract the amount of the payment from the allowed deduction.
• If the payment is in excess of one month’s deductible cost, treat the excess according to its disposal:
- if it goes back to the individual, it is unearned income, or
- if it is counted as a credit toward next month’s service, subtract it from next month’s deduction.
