9013.2 Non-Household Members

[273.1(b)] For the purposes of defining a household under the provisions of this section, the following individuals will not be included as a member of the household unless specifically included as a household member under the special definition at DSSM 9013.1. If not included as a member of the household under the special definition, such individuals will not be included as a member of the household for the purpose of determining household size, eligibility or benefit level. The income and resources of such individuals will be handled in accordance with DSSM 9077. The following individuals (if otherwise eligible) may participate as separate households: 1) Roomers to whom a household furnishes lodging, but not meals, for compensation. 2) Live-in attendants who reside with a household to provide medical, housekeeping, child care or similar personal services. 3) Other individuals who share living quarters with the household, but who do not customarily purchase food and prepare meals with the household. For example, if the applicant household shares living quarters with another family to save on rent, but does not purchase and prepare food together with that family, the members of the other family are not members of the applicant household. Some household members are ineligible to receive Program benefits under the provisions of the Food Stamp Act (such as certain aliens and certain students). Others may become ineligible for such reasons as being disqualified for committing an intentional Program violation or refusing to comply with a regulatory requirement. These individuals must be included as a member of the household for the purpose of defining a household under the definition in DSSM 9013.1. However, such individuals must not be included as eligible members of the household when determining the household's size for the purpose of comparing the household's monthly income with the income eligibility standard or assigning a benefit level by household size. The income and resources of such individuals will be handled in accordance with DSSM 9076. These individuals are not eligible to participate as separate households. Ineligible individuals include the following: 1) Ineligible students who do not meet the eligible student requirement of DSSM 9010. 2) Ineligible aliens who do not meet the citizenship or eligible alien status requirements of DSSM 9032 or the eligible sponsored alien requirements of DSSM 9081. 3) Individuals disqualified for intentional Program violation per DSSM 2023. 4) Individuals disqualified for failure to provide a SSN per DSSM 9032. 5) Individuals who do not attest to their citizenship or alien status as required on the Form 100 application form. 6) Individuals found guilty of having made a fraudulent statement or misrepresentation to the identity and/or place of residence in order to receive the multiple benefits at the same time per DSSM 2024. 7) Individuals who are fleeing prosecution or custody for a felony or probation/parole violators per DSSM 2025. 8) Individuals convicted of trafficking food stamps of $500 or more per DSSM 2026. 9) Individuals ineligible due to work requirements per DSSM 9018. 10) Individuals who are ineligible because of a drug-related felony conviction per DSSM 2027. 11) Individuals ineligible due to the time limit for Able-bodied Adults without Dependents per DSSM 9018.
