Earned income is income in cash or in-kind for which a person performs a service. It includes benefits received by the client as a reward for service, such as free shelter or vendor payments. It includes any additional allowances for shelter given to a member of the armed forces.
Some in-kind income received in exchange for services is not treated as earned income. Refer to Sec. 401-1 and 403-11 for the types of income that are treated as unearned income in-kind, not earned income in-kind, even though the client performed some work or service in exchange for the in-kind benefit.
