A.R.S. § 11-969: Payments not income or resource; welfare assistance

No payment received by a displaced person under this article shall be considered as income for the purposes of the provisions of title 43 relating to the taxation of income, nor shall such payments or real property purchased with such payments or the payment for the real property acquisition which necessitates the relocation be considered as income or resources for the purposes of determining eligibility or extent of eligibility of any person for public assistance. Nor shall such payments be deducted from the amount of aid to which the recipient would otherwise be entitled under any federal, state, county or city welfare program.
