Question 1:
When determining the annual income of a household currently residing at Living Oak Apartments, the manager includes $50.00 in groceries delivered weekly from Grandma Josephine, and an additional $200 that is deposited monthly into their bank account. The correct annual income is:
Answer: $2400.00. The weekly amount of groceries is exempt and as stated in Exhibit 5-1 of the 4350.3 HUD Handbook. The cash deposit into the bank account is a verifiable cash contribution and must be included as income to the household.

The total assets for this household equal $395.00.
Answer: False. The current balance of the savings account is $100.00; the $5.00 is a minimum for the account to remain open, and is not a penalty to withdraw funds. Total assets equal $400.00
