Any time you receive any kind of public assistance you need to disclose all kinds of income. Child support is also an income, even though, non-taxable. Section 8 does and will do an income check/verification, including if you're receiving child support. If you chose not to disclose the child support and they find out, you'll be responsible for any balances, including being dropped off from the program.
Not worth it at all........
Yes, Section 8 only counts child support payments as income when they become regular. If you are not receiving the payment than they wont count it as income.
No, as that is a separate commission from Welfare.
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.
Yes it can if the child is 18 or older and they were on the voucher.
You could face an IRS audit...which will ruin your day to say the least.
www.hud.gov will help you find section 8 housing in your area.
GoSection8 is the best place to go to find a section 8 house rental. There are other places to find house rentals but not all will be section 8 rentals.
No, it will have no effect.
Your local housing authority can help provide you a list of homes that except section 8. You can also check www.craigslist.org to find owners renting their homes out who except section 8.
You have to do the legwork and find one yourself as the section 8 department does not have a list of eligible places. You can call and see if a landlord is willing to accept section 8.
what do I do if my child's father is no where to be found what do I do if my child's father is no where to be found
Go to child support enforcement and make an official request that the order be modified. However, in recent months, it has been learned the the state is not counting 8% of weekly child support deductions as paid support due to a computer glitch, so you may find you are in arrears through no fault of your own but are still held accountable.
