RS 01301: Living With, Contributions and One-Half Support
TN 5 (04-90)
POLICY
If the NH or some other person provides a house rent free, consider the fair rental value as income to the claimant if the contributor owns the property and pays the maintenance costs.
NOTE: Maintenance costs do not include ordinary utilities.
When the contributor actually pays the rent for the premises, the contribution is the amount of such rent.
