24.1. Income Treatment 24.1.1. Interest Earned On Countable Resources Dividends or interest earned on countable resources are not income. 24.1.2. Interest Earned On Excluded Resources Consult the resource guidelines that address the type of resource on which the interest/dividend is earned to determine if the interest is or is not counted as income. 24.1.2.1. Exclusions If it is countable as unearned income, it is subject to the general income disregards.

24.2. Verification Verify amount and frequency of interest or dividend income with a check or notice issued by the source or an amortization table. When it has been determined the dividend or interest income is excluded from income counting, it is not necessary to verify the dividend or interest income. Note: The interest or dividends may be countable resources if retained into the following month. If retained the interest or dividends would need to be verified for resource eligibility.

25. Duplicate Or Erroneous Payments Not Income A duplicate or erroneous payment is one made to an individual due to an error on the part of the source of the payment. 25.1. Income Treatment A payment is not income when the individual is aware that he/she is not due the money and returns the uncashed check or otherwise refunds all of the erroneously received money.
