Third Party Payments
A direct payment made by a third party on an applicant or recipient’s behalf is usually not considered to be income.
Exception
Payments made to an applicant’s or recipient’s agent (e.g., lawyer) are considered income. Paying money to someone’s agent is the same as paying that person directly.
Payments made to an agency, business or person (e.g. landlord) on an applicants or recipients behalf in lieu of paying child or adult support are treated the same as if those payments were made to the person directly.
