55 Pa. Code § 140.261 - Benefits, dividends and interest

Annuities, pensions and other periodic payments which include private pensions, social security benefits including Part B Medicare premiums, disability benefits, veterans benefits, worker's compensation, railroad retirement, unemployment insurance benefits, dividends, interest and royalties are counted as unearned income. In some cases, the amount counted as unearned income is more than the actual amount received by the applicant/recipient. This occurs when the amount received by the applicant/recipient is reduced for a debt resulting from an overpayment of a previously received benefit, or by deduction of an insurance premium. In this situation, the actual amount to count as unearned income is the amount of the unearned income benefit to which the applicant/recipient is entitled before the deduction of an insurance premium or the reduction to recover an overpayment unless § 140.273(14) (relating to unearned income exclusions) applies.
