Disqualified Group Members' Income 5.4.2 MA Count the earned and unearned income of a mandatory group member who is disqualified as if s/he were in the group. Individuals may be disqualified for: • alien status, • failure to comply (without good cause) with SSN requirements, • non-cooperation (without good cause) with medical support requirements, • non-cooperation (without good cause) with third party liability (TPL) cooperation requirements, or • IPV These individuals are 'included provisionally' when determining the eligibility of group members. Including the individual provisionally directs ACEDS to use the income-eligibility limit for a group size equal to the assistance unit group plus the disqualified members. TANF Count the earned and unearned income of a mandatory group member who is disqualified as if s/he were in the group. Individuals may be disqualified for: • alien status, • failure to comply (without good cause) with SSN requirements, • failure to comply (without good cause) with work requirements, or • IPV Individuals ineligible based on these reasons are coded 'DI' in ACEDS. GC N/A FS There are two groups of disqualified individuals: • individuals disqualified for an IPV or sanction for failing to comply with FSET requirements, and • individuals disqualified for failing to provide an SSN or for being an ineligible alien. All of the earned and unearned income of an individual disqualified from the household for an IPV or a work-related sanction is deemed in its entirety to the remaining household members. The earned and unearned income of individuals disqualified based on failing to provide an SSN or for being an ineligible alien minus a pro-rata share of the income is deemed to the remaining household members. Allowable deductions (earned income, medical, dependent care, and excess shelter; see Section 6.3: Income Disregards and Deductions in this Part) are based on the circumstances of all group members and those individuals disqualified from the group but whose income is deemed to the group. To compute the group's prorated share, the SSR will: • Determine the ineligible person's monthly gross earned and unearned income (disregard all income that would be exempt for group members) • Divide the amount of the ineligible person's gross income by the number of group members,
