10 Colo. Code Regs. § 2506-1-4.404
Unearned income shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
Payment from federal or federally aided public assistance programs, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Colorado Works/Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)/Title IV-A, or other assistance programs based on need, including payments from programs which require, as a condition of eligibility, the actual performance of work without compensation other than the assistance payments themselves.
Payments from annuities; pensions; retirement; veterans or disability benefits; workmen's or unemployment compensation; old age, survivors, or Social Security benefits; and strike benefits.
Support and alimony payments made directly to the household from non-household members for normal living expenses.
Rental income is total income, less the cost of doing business, from rental property in which a household member (or disqualified individual) is not actively managing the property an average of at least twenty (20) hours a week.
Income of non-citizen sponsors shall be considered as unearned income to households containing sponsored non-citizens.
If vacation pay, sick pay, or bonus pay is received in installment payments after a person has terminated employment, it is considered unearned income. If the pay is received in a lump sum, it shall be considered as a resource in the month received.
Gifts from nonprofit organizations that exceed three hundred dollars ($300) in a quarter or gifts from other sources of any amount, if they can be anticipated.
Dividends, interest, royalties, and all other nonexempt direct money payments from any source that can be construed to be a gain or benefit.
Monies withdrawn from trust funds are income in the month received. Dividends that the household has the option of either receiving as income or reinvesting in the trust must be considered as income in the month they are available to the household.
Substantial lottery or gambling winnings as defined in section 4.000.1 will be counted as unearned income in the month received. If multiple individuals shared in the purchase of a ticket, hand, or similar bet, then only the portion of the winnings allocated to the member of the SNAP household would be counted in the eligibility determination.
