EXHIBIT I <br />Chapter Three - Calculating Annual (Gross) Income <br />Exhibit 3.1 - 24 CFR Part 5 Annual Income Inclusions <br />1. The full amount, before any payroll deductions, <br />of wages and salaries, overtime pay, <br />commissions, fees, tips and bonuses, and <br />other compensation for personal services. <br />2. The net income from the operation of a <br />business or profession. Expenditures for <br />business expansion or amortization of capital <br />indebtedness shall not be used as deductions <br />in determining net income. An allowance for <br />depreciation of assets used in a business or <br />profession may be deducted, based on <br />straight-line depreciation, as provided in <br />Internal Revenue Service regulations. Any <br />withdrawal of cash or assets from the operation <br />of a business or profession will be included in <br />income, except to the extent the withdrawal is <br />reimbursement of cash or assets invested in <br />the operation by the family. <br />3. Interest, dividends, and other net income of <br />any kind from real or personal property. <br />Expenditures for amortization of capital <br />indebtedness shall not be used as deductions <br />in determining net income. An allowance for <br />depreciation is permitted only as authorized in <br />number 2 (above). Any withdrawal of cash or <br />assets from an investment will be included in <br />income, except to the extent the withdrawal is <br />reimbursement of cash or assets invested by <br />the family. Where the family has net family <br />assets in excess of $5,000, annual income <br />shall include the greater of the actual income <br />derived from all net family assets or a <br />percentage of the value of such assets based <br />on the current passbook savings rate, as <br />determined by HUD. <br />4. The full amount of periodic amounts received <br />from Social Security, annuities, insurance <br />policies, retirement funds, pensions, disability <br />or death benefits, and other similar types of <br />periodic receipts, including a lump-sum amount <br />or prospective monthly amounts for the <br />delayed start of a periodic amount (except for <br />certain exclusions, listed in Exhibit 3.2, number <br />14). <br />5. Payments in lieu of earnings, such as <br />unemployment and disability compensation, <br />worker's compensation, and severance pay <br />(except for certain exclusions, as listed in <br />Exhibit 3.2, number 3). <br />6. Welfare Assistance. Welfare assistance <br />payments made under the Temporary <br />Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program <br />are included in annual income: <br />• Qualify as assistance under the TANF <br />program definition at 45 CFR 260.31; and <br />• Are otherwise excluded from the calculation <br />of annual income per 24 CFR 5.609(c). <br />If the welfare assistance payment includes an <br />amount specifically designated for shelter and <br />utilities that is subject to adjustment by the <br />welfare assistance agency in accordance with <br />the actual cost of shelter and utilities, the <br />amount of welfare assistance income to be <br />included as income shall consist of: <br />• the amount of the allowance or grant <br />exclusive of the amount specifically <br />designated for shelter or utilities; plus <br />• the maximum amount that the welfare <br />assistance agency could in fact allow the <br />family for shelter and utilities. If the family's <br />welfare assistance is reduced from the <br />standard of need by applying a percentage, <br />the amount calculated under 24 CFR 5.609 <br />shall be the amount resulting from one <br />application of the percentage. <br />7. Periodic and determinable allowances, such as <br />alimony and child support payments, and <br />regular contributions or gifts received from <br />organizations or from persons not residing in <br />the dwelling. <br />8. All regular pay, special pay, and allowances of <br />a member of the Armed Forces (except as <br />provided in number 8 of Income Exclusions). <br />Last Modified.
