6-I.O. PERIODIC AND DETERMINABLE ALLOWANCES [24 CFR 5.609(b)(7)] <br />Annual income includes periodic and determinable allowances, such as alimony and child <br />support payments, and regular contributions or gifts received from organizations or from persons <br />not residing with an assisted family. <br />Alimony and Child Support <br />The PHA must count alimony or child support amounts awarded as part of a divorce or <br />separation agreement. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will count court-awarded amounts for alimony and child support unless SAHA <br />verifies that: (1) the payments are not being made, and (2) the family has made <br />reasonable efforts to collect amounts due, including filing with courts or agencies <br />responsible for enforcing payments [HCV GB, pp. 5-23 and 5-47]. <br />Families who do not have court-awarded alimony and child support awards are not <br />required to seek a court award and are not required to take independent legal action to <br />obtain collection. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT 1
