2-009.04 Unearned Income
Unearned income is any cash benefit that
is not the direct result of labor or services performed by the individual
as an employee or a self-employed person. Unearned income includes, but
is not limited to:
- Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (RSDI)
under the Social Security Act;
- Railroad Retirement;
- Veteran's or military service benefits;
- Unemployment compensation or disability insurance
benefits;
- Disability benefits paid by the employer (this does
not include sick leave);
- Worker's compensation;
- Child, spousal, and cash medical support;
- Voluntary contributions;
- Gifts;
- Annuities;
- Pensions, or returns from investments or securities
in which the individual is not actively engaged; and
- Civil Service benefits.
If the client receives a benefit (such
as RSDI or VA) for an individual who is not in the unit and does not give
the benefit to the individual, it is counted as income to the client.
For further treatment of unearned income,
see 468 NAC 2-016.
