The purpose of this policy bulletin is to inform Job Center, Non-Cash Assistance (NCA) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Center, and HASA staff that Program Incentive Payments (PIP) received by participants in the "Child Development Study" are exempt as income and as resources when determining eligibility for Cash Assistance (CA) or SNAP benefits. PIP funds will be given to research study participants through a prepaid debit card, which will have money added on a monthly basis.
