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.
No, parents paying child support cannot deduct those payments from their income when determining eligibility for Section 8 housing. Child support payments are considered part of the recipient's income, and the paying parent's income is assessed in full. Therefore, both the payer and recipient must report child support payments when calculating income for housing assistance.
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.
