2630.80.00 PROPERTY NECESSARY TO VEHICLE MAINTENANCE (S)

An exemption is applied to real or personal property necessary to the maintenance or use of a vehicle which has been exempted because it is used for specific income producing purposes or for long distance travel essential to the employment of an AG member.

This exemption applies only to that portion of the property which is necessary to the maintenance or use of the exempted vehicles. (f32) An example would be a building utilized to house a vehicle which is used for employment when not in use. 2630.85.00 FEDERAL TAX REFUND PAYMENTS

Federal Tax refunds are disregarded as income in the month received and as a resource for a period of 12 months for TANF and SNAP. The resource exclusion lasts for 12 months.

The federal tax refund is to be excluded as a resource by subtracting any tax refund received by the AG in the last 12 months from the AG’s resources. If the difference between the resources and the amount of the federal tax refund is less than the resource limit, the AG meets the resource limit.

EXAMPLE:

AG applies today and has total resources of $4000. AG verified receipt of a federal refund in the amount of $3287 received in January of this year. This federal refund amount would need to be deducted from the total resources and the difference of $713 would be countable as a resource.

2630.85.05 EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC) PAYMENTS (C)

Payments from federal income taxes for earned income tax credit (EITC)are exempt as resources. (f33) 2630.90.00 INCOME/RESOURCES/CONTRIBUTIONS OF SSI RECIPIENT (C)
