This volume describes unearned income that is not counted to determine eligibility.  Unearned income is cash (checks, direct deposits, etc.) or in-kind benefits received by an individual for which a person performs no service.  A couple of the following topics include information about some related income that must be counted.  Applicants and recipients must provide enough information and verification for the worker to decide if income is to be counted or if it is an excluded income.
