Assets Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets • Value of assets may affect family’s annual income • PHA must: • Identify assets • Verify market value of assets • Know how to determine cash value of assets • Calculate Asset Income Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Market vs. Cash Value of Assets • Market Value – what the asset is “worth”on the market • Cash Value – what you would actually get out of the asset if you converted it to cash. (e.g. sold it) (Market value minus expenses to sell or convert to cash) • What is the market value of a $4,000 savings account? • What is the cash value of the account? Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Valuing Assets • When calculating cash value, PHA must consider expenses involved in converting assets to cash: • Penalties for early withdrawal • Broker and legal fees • Closing costs for real estate Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Cash Value of Asset • Certificate of Deposit • Market value $18,000 • 10% early withdrawal penalty $1,800 • Cash value of asset $16,200 Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Cash Value of Asset Home value $99,500 Mortgage balance $40,000 Broker fees $7,000 • Cash value of property = $52,500 Expenses to convert Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets Include Some Assets People DON’T Actually Have • Assets disposed of within past two years for less than fair market value • This can also be referred to as an imputed asset • To determine cash value: • Market value of the asset less the expenses and the amount received in compensation Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets Disposed of for Less than Market Value • Applicant sold her home to her son for $10,000 • The home value was $89,000 with no mortgage balance • Selling fees were $1,800 Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets Disposed of for Less than Market Value $89,000 Market Value - 1,800 Fees $87,200 -10,000 Sales price to son $77,200 Counted as an asset 2 years from date of sale = Cash Value Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets Disposed of for Less than Market Value Home value $ 99,500 Mortgage balance - 40,000 Family-paid broker fees - 2,700 Amount received - 5,000 Cash value of asset (disposed) $ 51,800 Count $51,800 cash value of asset for 2 years Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets Disposed of • Generally NOT considered to include those disposed of due to: • divorce or separation • bankruptcy • foreclosure • PHA should develop applicant certification form for verification purposes Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets and Asset Income • We have talked about ASSETS . . . • But what about the income they produce? Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Actual Income from Assets • Assets can generate income • Income from assets is counted in determining annual income Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Actual Income from Assets • Examples of income from assets • Interest • Dividends • Net income from real or personal property • Asset income of minors is counted as income (Ex: interest on savings account) Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Anticipating Actual Income from Assets • Market value of asset is used to determine actual anticipated income from asset • Question: will the family have any income coming from this asset if they don’t sell it? • Formula to determine anticipated income from interest bearing accounts: • Market value x interest rate Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Income from Assets • Net cash value of asset • is used to determine imputed asset income Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Income from Assets • When net cash value of all assets is $5000 or less, use the actual income from assets Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Assets • If net cash value of assets exceeds $5,000 must use the greater of: • actual income from assets • imputed income from assets (HUD passbook rate times net cash value of all assets) • HUD Field Office has HUD passbook rate for jurisdictions Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
When Net Cash Value of all Assets Exceed $5,000 • Add cash value of all assets • Multiply by the local HUD passbook rate • Compare result (imputed income from assets) to actual income from assets • Use whichever result is greater as Final Asset Income in rent calculation Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Annual Income Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Periodic Payments • Include in annual income the full amount of periodic amounts received from • Social Security • Pensions and Annuities • Retirement funds • Disability or death benefits • Insurance policies Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Periodic Payments • Deductions • If deductions (for example, Medicare) are taken out of the gross benefit, use the gross amount of the benefit • Adjustments • With Social Security, if benefits have been reduced to offset a prior overpayment, use the amount actually being received Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Disability Assistance Expenses Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Disability Assistance Expense • Deduction allowed for • Unreimbursed, anticipated costs for • Attendant care • Auxiliary apparatus • Paid on behalf of any family member who is a person with disabilities Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion

Disability Assistance Expense • Examples of qualifying expenses • Payments made on a motorized wheelchair for the adult son of the head of the family to go to work each day on his own • Payments to a care attendant to stay with a disabled 16-year-old child to allow the child’s mother to go to work each day Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Disability Assistance Expense • Cost of maintenance and upkeep of auxiliary apparatus is included • Veterinarian costs and food costs of a service animal • Cost of maintaining the equipment added to a car but NOT the cost of maintaining the car Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Disability Assistance Expense • Attendant care includes reasonable expenses for • Home medical care • Nursing services • Housekeeping and errand services • Interpreters for hearing-impaired • Readers for persons with visual disabilities Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Disability Assistance Expense • Maximum disability assistance allowance is that which exceeds 3% of the family’s annual income • The allowance is capped by the amount the family is enabled to earn as a result of the the disability assistance expenses Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Disability Assistance Expense - Example Head’s earned income: $ 14,500 Spouse’s earned income: 12,700 Total Income: $ 27,200 Son’s attendant care expenses: $ 3,830 3% of Annual Income: $ 816 Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Disability Assistance Expense – Example (cont.) Son’s attendant care expenses: $ 3,830 Minus 3% threshold - 816 Maximum allowable disabilityassistance expense: = $ 3,014 • Which is less than the earned income of the person(s) enabled to work Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion

Families Eligible for Medical and Disability Assistance Expenses • 3% threshold applied only once • Because deduction for disability assistance expenses is limited by the amount earned by the person enabled to work, it is calculated before the medical deduction Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Families Eligible for Both • If disability assistance expense is equal to or more than 3% of annual income • deduct 3% from disability assistance expense • compare to earnings made possible by assistance • add total medical expenses Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Families Eligible for Both Disability Expense $2000 - 3% of Annual Income - 500 “Proposed” Expense $1500 Amount Earned $1000 Allowable Disability Expense $1000 All Medical Expense is added $ 300 Total Deduction $1300 Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Families Eligible for Both • If disability assistance expense is less than 3% of annual income • Earnings is compared to disability assistance expense to get allowable disability assistance • Total disability expense is added to the medical expenses • 3% threshold is subtracted from the total Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
Families Eligible for Both (Disability Expense Less than 3% of Annual Income) Disability Expense $ 400 Earnings $ 1000 Disability Expense $ 400 Medical Expense + $ 900 Total of Both Expenses $1300 Less 3% of Annual Income - 500 Allowable for Both $ 800 Chapter 9: Case Study 3-Champion
