An allocation is deducted from the parent's income for a biological or adoptive nonrecipient child or child receiving MA under a category other than blind or disabled who:

• Is under age 18 or age 18 - 21 and a student • Is not receiving TANF or Adoption Assistance • Has income of less than the standard specified in Chapter 3000 The amount to be allocated is the income standard minus the child's nonexempt income. The general income disregard of $15.50 is deducted after allocations to dependent children, first from unearned income and then from earned. The general income disregard is $20. After the earned income disregards are applied to the parent's earned income, the countable unearned and earned income are totaled and compared to the applicable income standard in Chapter 3000. If the parent's income exceeds the income standard, the excess is deemed as income to the child applicant/recipient. If two or more children are applicants/recipients, a proportionate share of the parent's income is deemed to each. This budget is displayed on the Non-MAGI Income Budget page.

If the applicant/recipient is a child, any income deemed from his parent, as explained in Section 3455.05.20, is added to his own income. The general income disregard of $20 is subtracted. It is applied only once to a couple even when both members have income. Allocations to dependent children of the applicant/recipient or to an essential persons are then subtracted. The resulting amount is the countable unearned
