Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 6-28 <br />Incremental earnings and benefits to an y family member resulting from participation in <br />qualifying training program funded by HUD or in qualifying federal, state, tribal, or local <br />employment training programs (including training programs not affiliated with a local <br />government) and training of a family member as resident management staff are excluded from <br />annual income. Amounts excluded by this provision must be received under employment <br />training programs with clearly defined goals and objectives and are excluded only for the period <br />during which the family member participates in the training program unless those amounts are <br />excluded under 24 CFR 5.609(b)(9)(i) [24 CFR 5.609(b)(12)(iv)]. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA defines training program as “a learning process with goals and objectives, <br />generally having a variety of components, and taking place in a series of sessions <br />over a period of time. It is designed to lead to a higher level of proficiency, and it <br />enhances the individual’s ability to obtain employment. It may have performance <br />standards to measure proficiency. Training may include but is not limited to: (1) <br />classroom training in a specific occupational skill, (2) on-the-job training with wages <br />subsidized by the program, or (3) basic education” [expired Notice PIH 98-2, p. 3]. <br />SAHA defines incremental earnings and benefits as the difference between (1) the <br />total amount of welfare assistance and earnings of a family member prior to <br />enrollment in a training program and (2) the total amount of welfare assistance <br />and earnings of the family member after enrollment in the program [expired <br />Notice PIH 98-2, pp. 3–4]. <br />In calculating the incremental difference, SAHA will use as the pre-enrollment <br />income the total annualized amount of the family member’s welfare assistance and <br />earnings reported on the family’s most recently completed HUD-50058. <br />End of participation in a training program must be reported in accordance with <br />SAHA’s interim reporting requirements (see Chapter 11). <br /> Reparation payments paid by a foreign government pursuant to claims filed under the laws of <br />that government by persons who were persecuted during the Nazi era [24 CFR 5.609(b)(13)]. <br /> Adoption assistance payments for a child in excess of the amount of the dependent deduction <br />per adopted child [24 CFR 5.609(b)(15)]. <br /> Refunds or rebates on property taxes paid on the dwelling unit [24 CFR 5.609(b)(20)]. <br /> Amounts that HUD is required by federal statute to exclude from consideration as income for <br />purposes of determining eligibility or benefits under a category of assistance programs that <br />includes assistance under any program to which the exclusions set forth in 24 CFR 5.609(b) <br />apply. HUD will publish a notice in the Federal Register to identify the benefits that qualify <br />for this exclusion. Updates will be published when necessary. <br />EXHIBIT 1
