(1) Income which is exempt under §§ 181.261-181.264 (relating to types of income not counted for the TANF and GA categories).

(2) RSDI benefits paid under Title II of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 401-433) to a representative payee who does not live in the same household as the child and which the representative payee does not actually make available for the support of the child.
