P-2010.10 1. Calculate deemed income using the appropriate AFDC/FMA methodology.

2. If the assistance unit is income eligible, grant or continue assistance.

3. If deemed income causes a spenddown, check to see if there are any members of the assistance unit who are not the spouse or child of the deemor. If not, stop here.

4. If there are any members of the assistance unit who are neither a spouse nor a child of the deemor, split the original assistance unit into sub-units.

5. Create an assistance sub-unit of all members who are related to the deemor as a spouse or child.

6. Create the other sub-unit to comprise all of the remaining members of the original unit.

7. Remember, all members of the original assistance unit are members of the needs group for each sub-unit and all their income, except that income deemed to them, must be counted. (cross-reference: 5020, 5515)
