The recently passed Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 greatly simplifies and standardizes the rules for how Earned Income Tax Credits, Child Tax Credits, and any tax refunds are treated in determining eligibility for public benefit programs including the Food Stamp Program (FSP). This legislation will greatly help low-income families who would like to save their tax credits/refunds for the future without losing important public benefits.
OTDA has released GIS 11 TA/DC002 which outlines the impact of this legislation on FS and Temporary Assistance (TA).
