Packet Available on Training and Earned Income Disregards

In certain circumstances, Section 8 and public housing tenants are entitled to have excluded from their incomes those payments and earnings they receive while participating in training programs — and sometimes for 18 months thereafter — when their rents are calculated. The January Housing Law Bulletin includes an article explaining how the rules work. See Earned Income Disregards for Public Housing Tenants, 28 HOUS. L. BULL. 1 (Jan. 1998). HUD also issued a notice to all housing authorities in January, explaining the rules. HUD Notice PIH 98-2, Treatment of Income Received from Training Programs (Jan. 12, 1998).

The Housing Law Project has put together a packet of materials to be used by housing advocates and housing providers as guidance in implementing these rules. Copies are posted on Handsnet at the Legal Services/Substantive Law/Housing forum under the title "Earned Income Disregard Packet." These materials may also be ordered, free of charge, by writing the Project’s Oakland office, Attn. Amy Siemens, but we would prefer that you first try to get the packet from the Handsnet forum.
