Under Internal Regulation Service regulations and guidelines, child care payments can be deemed income based upon how the child care order is worded. However, receipt of food stamps and day care benefits are not deemed income under such guidelines and regulations.
Bankruptcy law is federal law and as such Internal Revenue Service guidelines and regulations control the bankruptcy court as to what is determined income or not.
