OLGT 2019-22: EAEDC and TAFDC: Income-In-Kind

Income-in-kind is a benefit received in any form other than money for a specific expense such as free rent, utilities, clothing or food, but not necessarily limited to those. 
 
For TAFDC and EAEDC grant calculations, shelter and food shall be deducted as income-in-kind based on pre-determined standard values (see 106 CMR 704.510(A) and (B). For TAFDC and EAEDC, income in kind shelter costs only apply to those placed in temporary emergency shelter.  For EAEDC, assistance units placed in temporary emergency shelter are in living arrangement D. Assistance units in living arrangement D are not subject to any income-in-kind deductions.
