Payments made from the Agent Orange Settlement Program (f24) are excluded as income to the veteran receiving the benefit as well as the veteran's survivors. The veteran receives a payment once per year while he is disabled for the life of the program. Survivors of the deceased veteran receive a one-time lump sum payment. 2845.30.00 FEDERAL TAX REFUND PAYMENTS
Federal Tax refunds received after December 31, 2009, are disregarded as income in the month received and as a resource for a period of 12 months for all federal means- tested programs including 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. This calculation will need to be completed off-line and requires documentation in the system.
