Does Section 8 housing vouchers count as part of your unearned income when verifying your income for child support?

No. Your local Housing Authority, under the Voucher Program, is paying benefits to your Landlord known as Housing Assistance Payments, or HAP, which does not go to you.
In some states it is considered a source of income ONLY for the purposes of your rent. Many landlords have requirements that your income is at least three times the amount of rent. Since the Voucher guarantees that some or most of your rent will be paid by the Government, the landlord must consider that part your income for these purposes.
However, in cases where you must list your rent as part of your expenses, you must list how much you actually pay in rent, not the actual rent, if you are receiving assistance via your Voucher.
