Title 8: Medicaid Page 35 Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Employees’ Manual Chapter E: Income Types of Non-MAGI-Related Income Revised April 11, 2025 Lump-Sum Income Military Pay (Cont.) Whenever possible, use the Leave and Earnings Statement to verify the gross pay for a month, including both earned and unearned income. The total base pay shown is earned income for that month. The total allowances shown are unearned income for that month (unless otherwise excluded, such as hostile fire pay). Noncash Items 20 CFR 416.1102, 20 CFR 416.1103, 20 CFR 416.1123; P. L. 103-60 The value of any noncash item (other than food or shelter) is not considered income if it will be partially or totally excluded as a resource the month after the month of receipt.

Mr. A receives a car worth $6,000 as a gift from his daughter. He had no car before the gift. Because $4,500 of value of the car is excluded the month after receipt, the car will be an excluded resource in the month following the month of receipt. Therefore, the gift of the car is not income to Mr. A. Other Excluded Federal Payments 20 CFR 416.1124, P. L. 92-203, P. L. 106-398  Exclude income from any of the programs established under Public Law 93-103 through the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), unless the director of CNCS determines that the hourly rate is equal to or over the minimum wage.

(The director has never yet made this determination. Central Office will contact workers if that determination is ever made.)

Programs under CNCS include University Year of Action (UYA), Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), Foster Grandparents, Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Senior Companion Program, and the Special and Demonstration Volunteer Program.

 Exclude dividend payments on shares of the Alaska Native Fund, and other revenue that originated with the fund. This fund was created by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (Public Law 92-203), enacted on December 19, 1971.
