In What Instances is Adoption Subsidy reportable income (non tax)

Sorry no one has answered, but I don't think I've ever run into this before. I can say that for our house loan, we didn't state the subsidy as income because it doesn't show on our taxes and therefore would look inconsistent. I would think you'd be fine not reporting it for public assistance because you can use the argument that it isn't reportable as income on taxes.
