Recent changes regarding the $50 disregard process for child support which has been timely paid were transmitted in 89 LCM-12 January 13, 1989. We have subsequently received federal clarification regarding the food stamp treatment of accrued child support payments. Food stamp instructions contained in this release supersede those contained in 89 LCI-l2.
This menoraidum is to notify you that, for food stamp purposes, only that IV-D child support pass-through which was received by the household within normal processing tiineframes is countable as income. The pass-through payment is counted as food stamp income in the month following the month in which the household receives the pass-through, regardless of whether the household is otherwise prospectively or retrospectively budgeted. Any addtional pass-through payments which represent support collections for previous months are excluded as income because they are lump sum payments.
