Exclude Income of Temp Census Workers

To clarify some confusion, HUD issued a notice [PIH-2010-38(HA)] specifying how the income from temporary employment with the U.S. Census Bureau should be handled.

Income payments that are considered temporary—for employment lasting no longer than 180 days and not culminating in permanent employment—are to be excluded when factoring a household's income [24 CFR §5.609(c)(9)]. This applies to temporary income payments from the U.S. Census Bureau.
