(This includes all AGs in which the tax dependent is a counted member).

Exceptions: • When an individual lives with their parent, and is not expected to be required to file a tax return (income below the threshold), do not budget any of the individual’s countable income for any assistance groups (AGs) in which the individual is either counted (CA, CC) or eligible (EA, EC). • When determining the eligibility of the tax filer that does not have a parent to child relationship with the tax dependent, exclude all countable income of the tax dependent not expected to be required to file a tax return (income below the threshold). (This includes all AGs in which the tax dependent is a counted member, except their own AG). 2230.0404 Pregnant Women (MFAM) When a pregnant woman is included in the SFU, the number of expected unborns must also be included.
