“When determining the eligibility of a veteran to rent a residential dwelling unit constructed on Department property on or after the date of enactment of this Act, for which assistance is provided as part of a housing assistance program administered by the Secretary, the Secretary shall exclude from income any disability benefits received under chapter 11 or chapter 15 of title 38, United States Code by such person.”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 602

The section requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to exclude a veteran's disability benefits under chapter 11 or chapter 15 of title 38 from income when deciding whether the veteran may rent a unit built on Department property on or after enactment with assistance from a program the Secretary runs. Department property takes its meaning from section 901 of title 38.

What the document actually says

“When determining the eligibility of a veteran to rent a residential dwelling unit constructed on Department property on or after the date of enactment of this Act, for which assistance is provided as part of a housing assistance program administered by the Secretary, the Secretary shall exclude from income any disability benefits received under chapter 11 or chapter 15 of title 38, United States Code by such person.”

That sentence, in plain words

Some homes are built on land held by the veterans agency. The housing agency helps pay for them. When a veteran applies, that pay is left out.

What this is about

This covers homes built on or after the day this law passed. It matches the rule for the voucher program. The land is defined by another federal law.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
