Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act › Section 2

Service Connected Disability Compensation

Section 2 · Sec. 2 ·

What this chapter is about

Some housing help goes to people who do not earn much. This part says how to count what a veteran earns. Pay from the VA for a war wound is left out. States, towns, and tribes must leave it out.

What the document says

“When determining whether a person is a person of low and moderate income, a person of low income, or a person of moderate income under this paragraph, a State, unit of general local government, or Indian tribe shall exclude any service-connected disability compensation received by such person from the Department of Veterans Affairs.”

To amend section 102(a)(20) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to require the exclusion of service-connected disability compensation when determining whether a person is a person of low and moderate income, a person of low income, or a person of moderate income, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

The whole substance of section 2. The words quoted are added at the end of section 102(a)(20) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, cited in the section as 42 U.S.C. 5302(a)(20), as a new subparagraph (C). The duty falls on a State, a unit of general local government, or an Indian tribe making the determination, and it covers all three of the income categories the paragraph names.

What the document actually says

“When determining whether a person is a person of low and moderate income, a person of low income, or a person of moderate income under this paragraph, a State, unit of general local government, or Indian tribe shall exclude any service-connected disability compensation received by such person from the Department of Veterans Affairs.”

To amend section 102(a)(20) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to require the exclusion of service-connected disability compensation when determining whether a person is a person of low and moderate income, a person of low income, or a person of moderate income, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

A state, town, or tribe must add up what a person earns. It must leave out VA pay for a war wound. Then it can say if the person earns little.

What this is about

A 1974 housing law sets who counts as low income. This adds a new rule at the end of that test. VA pay for a war wound no longer counts as money earned.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The rule this section inserts into an older statute, quoted from the words this Act supplies, together with the citation of the provision amended.

The mechanics of the amendment. That the new text is added at the end of a paragraph is recorded in the summary rather than as a separate entry.

The section works by amending section 102(a)(20) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. That statute is not indexed on this site, so what the rest of the income test says, before or after this change, is not recorded here.
