If a single payment is received for more than one beneficiary, exclude the amount actually used for the nonmember up to the nonmember's • identifiable portion, or • prorated portion (if the portion is not identifiable). Count as unearned income any money the beneficiary retains and does not use for the maintenance of a nonmember. 762 TRUST FUNDS (toc) Count as unearned income, withdrawals or dividends the household can receive from a trust fund that is exempt as a resource. Note: ALL trusts, including living trusts, are submitted to the Chief of Eligibility & Payments for review and a determination of availability/accessibility excluding the trust situations noted in E&P MS A-500, Trust Referrals; however, if the person is currently receiving income from the trust, it is countable (this includes income from a Supported Living Arrangement trust fund). 763 UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS (toc) Count as unearned income the gross benefit less any amount being recouped for a previous UIB overpayment. Note: Child support judgments against UIB payments are not considered an overpayment recoupment. Exception: If the overpayment was incurred due to fraud, the amount being recouped is not deducted from the gross payment. In some circumstances, individuals have earnings which do not exceed the payment amount of their weekly UIB benefit. The gross UIB benefit is reduced by 75% of the amount of the earnings as reported by the individual to DETR. Example: The individual is entitled to $200 per week gross UIB benefits and reports $100 in weekly earnings to DETR. When determining the UIB payment, 75% of the $100 or $75 will be budgeted against the benefit of $200, reducing the gross payment to $125. $100 x 75% = $75, $200 - $75 = $125.
