Countable income is calculated by reducing the gross income by the following allocations and disregards. a. Income allocations are the part of the gross income that is allocated to individuals in the home who are not eligible for Supplemental Security Income or Old Age Pension. The allocation reduces the gross income that is deemed available to the applicant/client. The allocation is deducted from the gross income prior to applying the other disregards. The allocations are: i) An Ineligible Child Allocation is an amount equal to one half the current year’s SSI FBR that is disregarded from the ineligible parents’ gross income. This allocation is used to meet the needs of ineligible children in the household. This allocation is available for each ineligible child in the home. The amount of the allocation is reduced by any of the ineligible child’s own income. ii) An Ineligible Parent(s) Allocation is an amount equal to the current year’s SSI FBR for a single individual or a couple, as applicable. This amount is used to meet the needs of the ineligible parent(s) in the home with an applicant/client child. iii) No allocations are allowed for applicant/recipient spouses who do not have children in the home. b. Allocations are applied to the income in the following manner: i) Allocation disregards are deducted from unearned income before earned income. ii) Ineligible child allocation disregards are deducted from parents’ income before any standard disregards are applied.
