Since November 2nd 2009,child benefit is no longer counted as income for housing benefit assessment.
Probably because the rules for the section 8 housing program requires you to report the child support payment as a part of your income when it is received. For income tax purposes on your federal income tax return child support is NOT TAXABLE income that you would report on your 1040 tax form.
No, not at all. Low income housing is just that. People with low incomes can apply at low income housing facilities. You can get a list of these in person only at your local housing department.
The child tax credit is a tax benefit for parents with dependent children, providing a credit for each child. The earned income credit is a tax benefit for low to moderate-income individuals and families who have earned income from work. The main difference is that the child tax credit is based on the number of children, while the earned income credit is based on income and family size.

If a custodial parent receives child support for the benefit of a minor child, and that minor child has a child themselves, they can receive child support for their child, however, as far as federal aid, they are required to disclose the child support the custodial parent receives for their benefit as income.
Parents can get what is called a DIC benefit. If your child was active duty, honorable discharged, killed in line of duty. If your child wasn't married or have children. This benefit is income based, so not everyone can get it.
Yes; however, the child's RSDI benefit is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.
First of all, I want to apologize for taking a long time to answer this question. But I had to make sure that my answer was correct before I would pass it on to you. Here goes: YES, you can foster children under section 8. What's better than that, is that whatever income from fostering the children does not count against your income for the calculation of rent. This is because foster parents are really not supposed to be paid to foster children: they are supposed to use whatever money is given to them by the State for the child's benefit.
Yes. However, if the child's RSDI benefit is based on the obligor's SSA account, it is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.
Filing for child support and receiving a housing choice voucher (section 8) have nothing to do with each other. However, some housing authorities may require for you to apply for any benefits to which you are entitled.
Child support is based upon the income of the parents. The custodial parent does not need to prove what the child support was used for. The custodial parent is expected to provide housing, food, utilities, etc. to the child.
Not on your individual income tax return as long as all of the rules are met for you to be able to claim the 15 year old as your qualifying child dependent on your income tax return.
