• Reimbursement from the Indianhead Community Action Agency (Ladysmith) under its JUMP Start Program for start-up costs to set up an in-home child care business in the person's home. • Reimbursements received from the Social Services Block Grant Program for expenses in purchasing Social Services Block Grant services, (e.g.,, transportation, chore services, and child care services). The reimbursement payment should not be more than the person’s actual out-of-pocket expenses. If it is more, count the excess amount as unearned income. 15.3.20 Relocation Payments Under Wis. Stat. § 32.19, relocation payments are available to displaced persons. The following are examples of costs that the relocation payments are intended to cover: moving expenses, replacement housing, and property transfer expenses. Disregard the amounts paid by any governmental agency or organization listed in Wis. Stat. § 32.02. Disregard Title II, Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act payments. Its purpose is to treat people displaced by federal and federally aided programs fairly so that they do not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of programs designed for the public's benefit. Disregard Experimental Housing Allowance Program payments. The program's purpose is to study housing supply. Test areas, which include Brown County, were selected throughout the U.S., and contracts were entered into prior to January 1, 1975. A sample of families was selected to receive monthly housing allowance payments. For Medicaid applicants or members, disregard housing assistance payments received under the following acts: • United States Housing Act of 1937 • National Housing Act • Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 • Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 • Section 202(h) of the Housing Act of 1959 15.3.21 Repayments A repayment is money the member has received from an IM program and must give back because of a program error or violation. Since he or she is not entitled to the money, he or she must repay it. Therefore, it should not be counted as income to the member. Disregard the following repayments: • Money withheld from an economic assistance check due to a prior overpayment. • Money from a particular income source that is voluntarily or involuntarily paid to repay a prior overpayment received from that same source of income.

If money from a particular income source is mixed with money from other types of income, disregard only an amount up to the amount of the current payment from the particular source. Example 2 Richard receives $50 a month from the VA and $250 from Social Security. The income from the two sources is added together in one lump sum of $300. If the VA overpays Richard by $200, he can pay back to the VA only the $50 a month he receives from the VA. If he repays more, for instance, $75 a month, disregard only $50.
