In ONE, Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is coded on the Unearned Income screen: • Unearned Income Category – Other Income • Unearned Income Type – Alaska Permanent Fund For all programs except HSD medical, count Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend payments as lump-sum income.

Oregon Administrative Rule(s) 461-145-0008 — Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend 414-175-0035 — Specific Financial Requirements 410-200-0015 (54) and (55) — General Definitions Animals For all programs, exclude an animal that is considered a pet or raised specifically as food for the filing group. For example, lamb or cattle or chickens that will be slaughtered and eaten by the individual would fall under this category; chickens that lay eggs eaten by the individual or a dairy cow that provides them with milk are also included. Any animal can be considered a pet as long as it doesn’t generate income, including cows, horses, sheep and chickens. Furthermore, animals can be both pets and a source of food for the family.

For example, if a family has a cow and sells the milk or has chickens and sells the eggs, the animals are considered income- producing property and treated in accordance with the income-producing property rule. On the other hand, if selling the milk or eggs constitutes self-employment, the cow or chicken could be treated as a work-related capital asset and excluded.

This could also include puppies bred specifically for sale as pets or show dogs, or horses that are bred or purchased, trained and re-sold as roping or barrel-racing horses. These animals are countable resources regardless of whether or not they are also considered pets. Animals that are used, kept or raised for the purposes of self-employment are excluded as a resource. For MSP and OSIPM, if an animal is a source of both food and income for the filing group, the proceeds of any sale
