Rental Income (Earned) - SNAP (Food Stamps)

In the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamp Program), rental income is money a person receives for allowing another person to use his/her property. It includes income from a lease.

If you spend 20 or more hours actively managing the property, then the rental income is considered to be earned. If you spend less than 20 hours a week managing the property, then rental income is considered to be unearned.

Active management of the rental unit(s) includes, but is not limited to, the following:

·        advertising;

·        showings to prospective renters;

·        accounting activities;

·        inspections; and

·        cleaning, repairing, and redecorating.

The following types of expenses may be deducted from the gross rental income:

·        real estate tax,

·        insurance,

·        utilities,

·        interest, and

·        upkeep and repairs.

Whether earned or unearned, count the gross rental income minus expenses.
