C. DOMESTIC VOLUNTEER SERVICE ACT

The following payments are excluded from income: any payment to volunteers under Title II Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Foster Grandparents, Title III Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE), and Active Corps of Executives (ACE) of the Domestic Volunteer Services Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-113), as amended.

Payments to volunteers under VISTA and other Title 1 programs are excluded only for individuals receiving SNAP or public assistance at the time they joined, except that persons receiving the VISTA income exclusion at the time of conversion to the new Food Stamp Program of 1977 will continue to have that income excluded for the length of their volunteer contract in effect at the time of conversion. Temporary interruptions in SNAP participation will not alter the exclusion once an initial determination has been made. Programs established under other Acts may have names similar to programs under the Domestic Volunteer Service Act. Payments from such programs are countable income.

D. COMMUNITY SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

Payments from the Crisis Intervention Program (CIP) administered by the Community Services Administration (CSA) are exempt. Example: An individual is receiving SNAP and joins VISTA. He is sent for training and does not receive SNAP for two months. When he reapplies, his VISTA income is excluded because he was receiving SNAP when he joined. New applicants who are not receiving public assistance or SNAP at the time they joined VISTA will have these volunteer payments included as earned income.
