(This Policy Bulletin Obsoletes PB #08-120-ELI)
The purpose of this policy bulletin is to inform Job Center staff of the Income Savings Requirement (ISR), which requires employed households receiving an earned income disregard who reside in shelter to save money each month they reside in shelter. New York State Social Services Law, Section 36-c was amended to require that certain shelter residents with earned income save money that they otherwise would have been required to contribute toward their shelter expense. A household's accumulated savings will be returned to them once they exit the Homeless Shelter.
