This bill excludes VA disability benefits from the income calculation used to determine eligibility for HUD-VASH supported housing and VA-property housing units. It does not exclude those benefits when calculating "adjusted income," which determines actual rent payments.
The bill mainly affects veterans, especially those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and rely on disability benefits as a significant part of their income.
Currently, counting disability payments as income can push some veterans' total income above eligibility limits, disqualifying them from supported housing programs. Changing this calculation would alter how many veterans qualify for these specific HUD and VA housing programs.
