Make sure to report your income correctly…or else!
Make sure you fill out your annual income worksheets fully and correctly. While you may think not reporting certain income may increase your chances of keeping or raising your assistance level, it will catch up with you in the end. You will lose your voucher (for life!) and could even go to prison.
Take the recent case of Millicent Hazel, 48, from Pennsylvania. For years, she had not reported child support payments she’d been receiving as part of her income (even though child support payments are a specific line item on the sheet). Yesterday, she was charged with a felony of theft by deception. She is currently in jail awaiting bail and faces heavy jail time. She will also lose her voucher for life if convicted.
So remember to be diligent when filling out your paperwork for Section 8, whether it be your initial application or annual income worksheets. You don’t want to wind up in prison!
What happens if you started jobs that didn’t last over 1 1/2-2 months and did not report income? Will they be able to verify jobs worked for such a short period of time you no longer have? If so what will be the outcome?
Can they pull your income
What if you working for 8 months and you didn’t know it was center time frame to report the income?
What if you get a new job and didnt report for a year and when you are about to move and now have to report the income will they still terminate. Do they take kids and pregnant woman into consideration with the determination?
So I recently ported out of my city and then had to port back in. My caseworker became ill and another took over. When it came time to sign for my rent portion . It was not right considering my daughter had not worked for the past 5 to 6 months. Now I’m stuck with rent I can’t afford due to her miscalculation and when I tried to correct issue I got the runarround sent me home with a form to fill out and bring back after I told her I had already turned that form in when I did my recertification for them. Asked me if it was in my file and sent me on my way. I also gave a doctor’s note requesting a live in aid but nothing about that. She said get another one.. I don’t think she even looked at my file. Anyway I get a letter saying I have 30 days to get varification my daughter was out of work or my assistance will be terminated but nothing on my doctors note still. Now my landlord wants to kick me out my daughter had to get 2 jobs and a side one to pay the rent and help me with our other bills . The worst part is my daughter also takes care of me and is in school but they won’t allow her to be my caretaker .. This is a mess any advice ?
Would be much appreciated
What if you had so many jobs within a year and forgot to report one of the jobs?? And the person no longer works for that company??
Ive been recieving checks for a year from my landlord in my government funded housing and I don’t know why. I haven’t reported income for a year because I haven’t really had any. I now have a job. What happens if I don’t report income?
What if you have a boyfriend move in and he has a job and gets disability income and for 4 months I don’t report it? He moved in with all his income and I didnt report it and I probably never will cause I’m a sneaky little liar and get over on everyone.
I only worked for 28 days and was laid is that reported income?
