Don't know if this is the right group or even forum to post this, but thought I might ask you ladies that know a thing or 2 about Section 8 a question. Do you know if Section 8 will count my son's wages into my budget when deciding my rent share? I am asking this because several years ago a friend of mine was living in the projects (government housing) and when her kids became of age to work summer youth they did & housing figured those wages into her household budget.....I have tried to get hold of my caseworker to ask her & she is never available, only @ recert time and it is no where near my time for that.......my son is not working yet but has put in alot of applications and hopes to get a job soon and I would like to know about this ahead of time so that I can sort of prepare for it.....

Do you know where I might find this info on any sites?
Quoting conniejo75:
It is my understanding they do count it as "household income"

They don't count my daughters income. She's 16.

It may vary by state too. I would definitely check with state worker

I always thought that until the child is 18 they can't count it as income. However, if they make enough $$ for a set period of time and can actually file taxes, that may be different.
She is impossible to get a hold of as well as her supervisor...I have left a few vm just to inquire, but they never call you back unless it is around recert time...and it is no where near that time for me....
