Veterans' disability pay would no longer count as income for federal housing aid.
This bill would stop the government from counting veterans' disability payments as income when families apply for federal housing assistance. This means veterans and their families could qualify for more housing help or pay less rent through programs run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Today, amounts a family receives from the Department of Veterans Affairs for service-related disabilities are counted as income. This affects their eligibility for and the amount of housing assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. If this bill becomes law, these amounts would not be considered income for Department of Housing and Urban Development housing assistance programs. This could potentially increase eligibility or reduce rent for affected families.
