Loans from persons who are not legally responsible relatives are exempt. Loans from legally responsible relatives are treated as contributions and budgeted as available nonexempt income. See PM 08-03-06-b for educational loans.

A legally executed document is not required to verify that income is a loan. A statement signed by both parties is enough to verify the income is a loan, if it contains:

  • the amount of the loan,
  • that the payment is a loan, and
  • that repayment is required.
