This income is determined as follows:

.711 Determine the total amount of unearned income of the sponsor and his/her spouse.

.713 If the sponsor is the sponsor of more than one noncitizen, divide the total gross income by the total number of sponsored noncitizens who are applying for or receiving cash aid. This amount shall be deemed to be the income of each applicant or recipient who is a sponsored noncitizen.

.714 When the sponsored noncitizen is not included in the AU (see Section 82-832), the portion of his/her income, which has been deemed from the sponsor, shall not be used in determining his/her contribution to the AU unless such income is actually available to the AU.
