Earned Income Disallowance for Disabled
Earned Income Disallowance (EID) temporarily excludes the full value of increases in earned income for disabled individuals who are entering the workforce. To qualify, a participant must experience an increase in income due to one of the following events: (1) new employment for a disabled family member who was previously unemployed for one or more years, (2) an increase in income for a disabled family member due to participating in an economic self-sufficiency or job-training program, or (3) new employment or increased earnings by a disabled family member who has received benefits or services under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). EID only applies to families who are already participating in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. Please contact your Housing Specialist with questions or for more information about EID.
