Summary

Getting a cash allowance under this chapter does not reduce or change your right to any other benefit you qualify for under laws run by the Secretary. It also does not reduce or change benefits that other people get because they are related to you. That cash allowance is not counted as income or assets when deciding eligibility for, or the amount of, any Federal or federally assisted program.
