Garnishment Example: The client is eligible for $450 from RSDI; however, $50 a month is withheld by the SSA and sent to the Bureau for Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) to pay child support arrears. The countable income is $450 and $50 is given as a child support deduction. 4.4.4.M Funds Diverted to a Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) Funds diverted to a PASS account are excluded only when the PASS is established by the SSA for an SSI recipient. 4.4.4.N Unstated Income There is no provision for counting unstated income. 4.4.4.O Unavailable Income Income intended for the client but received by another person with whom he does not live, when the individual receiving this income refuses to make it available, is excluded. 4.4.4.P Income Received for a Non-Income Group Member Income received by a member of the IG, that is intended and used for the care and maintenance of an individual whose income is not used in determining the eligibility or benefit level of the payee's AG, is excluded as income. This includes SSI payees and other protective payees. This does not include child support payments and/or arrearages received by an AG member for a child who is not in the AG. In this situation, the child support is counted for the AG that receives the income, even when it is forwarded to, and/or used, for the child.
