Government benefits paid to you from a public welfare fund based upon need aren't taxable. So you don't include them on your tax return. You only include welfare payments if they're compensation for services or if your payments have been found to have been obtained fraudulently. In these two cases, you enter the amount on the line 21 (Other Income) of Form 1040.
