Certain vendor payments are excluded. A vendor payment is a money payment which meets all the following conditions. It is:
1. Made on behalf of a household;
2. Paid by a person or organization outside the household with that person’s or that organization’s own funds; and
3. Paid directly to either the household’s creditors or a person or organization providing a service to the household.
Income which is legally obligated and otherwise payable to the household but which is diverted by the provider of the payment to a third party for a household expense is counted as income and not excluded as a vendor payment.
