If BM is receiving benefits from the state and has a new boyfriend living with her, does she have to report his income? (He's been there for at least 4 months now) Or is his income not included when her state benefits are calculated?

Her older daughter also moved out over a year ago. For all I know she has reported all these changes, but knowing what kind of person she is, I doubt it. SO said she had to pay back money when they were together. I'm guessing it was because she didn't report he was living with her.

I lived with DH (then BF) for 8 months out of the year and when he wanted to claim me they told me he couldn't because we weren't married or blood related. We had to file separately so no she probably doesn't have to claim him or include his income on any of her tax papers.
