The purpose of this GIS is to clarify food stamp policy regarding the exclusion of the amount of legally obligated (court ordered) child support payments made to non-household members. Under authority of federal statute [7 U.S.C. 2014(d)(6)] effective October 1, 2002, legally obligated child support payments are treated as an income exclusion rather than an income deduction for purposes of determining food stamp eligibility and benefit amount. Districts previously were notified of this change in policy in 02 ADM-7, Section IV, A, 2.
