What happens to social security deductions if a family qualifies and is disabled?

When a family qualifies for disability assistance and receives Social Security benefits due to a disability, these benefits are typically included in the income calculation for the Housing Choice Voucher program. This means that if a family receives Social Security payments, these will indeed be deducted from their income when determining their eligibility and the amount of assistance they can receive.

The inclusion of Social Security benefits in income calculations is essential because it provides a comprehensive understanding of the household’s financial resources. This ensures that families can receive the appropriate level of assistance based on their total income situation. While certain deductions might apply in other contexts, the primary fact here is that Social Security benefits, in the case of disabled individuals and families, are integral to understanding their income for housing assistance purposes.
