AI Summary

The bill specifies that unearned income includes income from public assistance programs, annuities, pensions, retirement benefits, Social Security benefits (excluding the first $8,000 per household), support and alimony payments, rental property income (unless a household member actively manages the property for at least 20 hours per week), and income from sponsored noncitizens' sponsors. The bill requires the department to promulgate regulations consistent with this section.
