Illinois TANF leaves out pensions and veterans' benefits that 112.110 doesn't exempt #10784
policyengine_us/parameters/gov/states/il/dhs/tanf/income/sources/unearned.yaml comments out pension_income and veterans_benefits as exempt, so Illinois TANF's gross unearned income leaves both out.
Under 89 Ill. Adm. Code 112.100(a), DHS considers "unearned income which is not specified as exempt" when it determines eligibility and the payment. Section 112.100(b) defines unearned income as "all income other than that received in the form of salary for services performed as an employee or profits from self-employment", and 112.110 lists the exemptions. It names no pension. For veterans, DHS exempts Agent Orange settlement payments under (o). Under (aa), it disregards disability payments from Social Security, Railroad Retirement, Veterans' Affairs (100% disability only) and Black Lung, up to the SSI payment level for one person with no income.
Unless another rule exempts them, we should add pension_income and veterans_benefits to the list and apply the (aa) disregard to VA disability payments. #10764 adds railroad_benefits to the same list and leaves these two lines alone.
