What rent policy should be applied if a family who completed a qualifying training program prior to October 1, 1999, did not have increased earnings until after October 1, 1999?
A12:The family’s eligibility for the new earned income disregard must be based on one of the three criteria outlined in 960.255. Because the resident “completed” training prior to October 1, 1999, the resident would not be eligible for the new earned income disregard related to participation in a training program, as the increased earnings must occur “during” participation in an economic self-sufficiency or other training job. However, the tenant may still be eligible for the earned income disregard based on one of the other two criteria-previously unemployed for at least 12 months or receiving TANF within the last six months. EXAMPLE: A tenant completed a qualifying training program in June, but did not start her new job until October. The tenant did not “qualify” for the 18-month disregard prior to October 1, 1999 because her employments began in October. Therefore, he eligibility for an income disregard is determined by whether she qualifies under the new disregard policy effective
