· Assistance payments made by other agencies or organizations as long as they do not duplicate FIP support

· Certified payments for home energy assistance

· The value of a governmental rent or housing subsidy

· 50 percent of the monthly gross countable earned income of each individual whose needs are included in the budget group for the first four months in which earned income is countable (This disregard can be received only once in 24 months)
