P-2520.05 1. Make sure the pregnant woman meets the AFDC eligibility factors which would be required if her child were already born and living with her.

2. When determining if the pregnant woman meets the categorical requirement of deprivation, remember:

° if incapacity or unemployment of a parent is the reason for deprivation, make sure that the parents are married;

° deprivation due to absence of the parent still exists even if the alleged father resides in the home as paternity is not established prior to the child's birth.
