Individual AG members may be disqualified for: • IPV; • failure to obtain or refusal to provide an SSN; • failure to comply with a work requirement; • ineligibility as an alien; • failure to comply with ABAWD (Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents) requirements. • fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody, or confinement after conviction. • violating a condition of federal or state probation or parole • felony conviction under state or federal law for an offense related to the possession, use or distribution of a controlled substance.

During the period an AG member is disqualified, the following procedures are used to determine the eligibility and benefit level of any remaining AG members. (f26) The eligibility system determines the amounts of resources, income, and expenses of disqualified members automatically.

The entire amount of income and expenses of an AG member disqualified for IPV, Work Registration, IMPACT, fleeing felon, parole/probation violation, ineligible alien, or felony drug conviction is considered in the eligibility and benefit calculation.

A prorated share of the income and expenses of the SSN ineligible member, disqualified member, or ABAWD non-compliance member is counted as income to the remaining members. This prorated share is calculated by first subtracting the allowable exclusions from the disqualified member's income and dividing the income evenly among the AG members, including the disqualified member.

All but the disqualified members' share is counted as income to the remaining AG members. The 20% earned income deduction applies to the prorated income.

An ineligible individual(s) is not considered when determining the AG's gross/net income limits or allotment level. The eligibility system determines the prorated income and determines the eligibility/allotment.

The resources of all disqualified members are considered in their entirety along with the resources of eligible members to determine eligibility. However, the disqualified member is not included when determining the AG’s size for the purpose of comparing the AG’s resources with the resource eligibility limits.

The resources and income of the sponsor and the sponsor's spouse are not included in determining the resources and income of an ineligible sponsored alien.
