unless the provider or the household indicates the amount is excessive. This applies to anticipated expenses as well as past expenses for which reimbursement covers.
Jury duty pay may count as a reimbursement if it meets the criteria of this section.
Examples of reimbursements that do not represent a gain or benefit to the household are:
a. Reimbursement or flat allowances for job or training related expenses, such as:
1) Travel
2) Per diem
3) Uniforms
4) Transportation to and from the job or training site, including reimbursements for the travel expenses incurred by migrant workers.
b. Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses of volunteers incurred in the course of their work.
c. Medical reimbursements.
d. Dependent care reimbursements.
e. Reimbursements received by households to pay for services provided by Title XX of the Social Security Act.
7. Third Party Funds
Monies received and used for the care and maintenance of a third-party beneficiary who is not a household member. If the intended beneficiaries of a single payment are both household and nonhousehold members, any identifiable portion of the payment intended and used for the care and maintenance of the nonhousehold member will not count. If the nonhousehold member's portion cannot be readily identified, the payment will be evenly prorated among intended beneficiaries and the exclusion applied to the nonhousehold member's pro rata share or the amount used for the nonhousehold member's care and maintenance, whichever is less. The term nonhousehold member refers both to persons residing with the SNAP household but considered nonhousehold members according to the provisions of Part VI.C and persons who do not reside with the SNAP household.
