Wrong for penalizing seniors

Leave a comment

**Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL)** issued by the U.S. Department of Labor on March 28, 2014, regarding the **Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)**. Its main purpose is to provide SCSEP grantees with important information about the **exemption of SCSEP wages** from income eligibility determinations for **Federal housing programs** and **Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)**.

### Key Points:

1. **Purpose**: To inform SCSEP grantees that wages received by SCSEP participants are exempt from being counted as income for determining eligibility for federally funded housing programs and SNAP.

2. **References**:

– **42 U.S.C. 3056g** (Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006).

– **Food and Nutrition Act of 2008** (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.).

3. **Background**:

– **SCSEP wages** are excluded from income calculations when determining eligibility for federal housing and SNAP programs.

– Local officials may be unaware of this exemption, so this letter can serve as official documentation when determining eligibility.

4. **Advisory**:

– **SCSEP wages** are excluded from income determinations under the **Older Americans Act (OAA)** and the **Food and Nutrition Act of 2008**.

5. **Action Required**: Grantees are required to distribute this information to SCSEP participants to assist them when applying for or continuing to receive **Federal housing** and **SNAP** benefits.

6. **Inquiries**: Questions should be directed to the appropriate **regional Federal Project Officer**.

This advisory ensures that SCSEP participants are not penalized for their earnings when applying for or receiving assistance from these critical programs.
