5154-6       OTHER EXCLUSIONS

Monies retained from the following sources are also exempt as resources:

• Permanent Fund Dividends (PFD Permanent Fund Dividend's) or Food Stamp PFD Permanent Fund Dividend Hold Harmless payments issued to replace Food Stamps benefits;
   

• Receipt of bona fide loans;
   

• Restitution payments;
   

• Disaster relief funds (as specified in the Income section of this manual);
   

• Earnings from participation in the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYTEP) operated under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA Workforce Investment Act Payments) of 1998; and
   

• Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation payments.

To maintain the exclusion, the retained portion of any such funds must be kept identifiable. A separate bank account is the preferred method of maintaining identifiability, but is not mandatory. An applicant or recipient may satisfy the requirement of identifiability by providing reasonable documentation of the amount retained. Verification that monies on deposit are retained from bona fide loans, restitution payments, or disaster relief funds need not be done unless there is good reason to question the source of the funds.
