Kansas Administrative Regulations

Kansas Department for Children and Families

Article 4.—Public Assistance Program

30-4-106. General rules for consideration of resources, including real property, personal property, and income.

(a) For purposes of determining eligibility for assistance, ownership of property shall be determined by legal title. In the absence of a legal title, ownership shall be determined by possession.

(b) Resources, to be real, shall be of a nature that the value can be defined and measured. The value of resources shall be established by the objective measurements set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) below.

(1) Real property. The value of real property shall be initially determined by the latest uniform statewide appraisal value of the property, which shall be adjusted to reflect current market value. If the property has not been appraised or if the market value as determined above is not satisfactory to the applicant or recipient or the agency, an estimate or appraisal of its value shall be obtained from a disinterested real estate broker. The cost of obtaining an estimate or appraisal shall be borne by the agency.

(2) Personal property. The market value of personal property shall be initially determined by a reputable trade publication. If a publication is not available, or if there is a difference of opinion regarding the value of the property between the applicant or recipient and the agency, an estimate from a reputable dealer shall be used. The cost of obtaining an estimate or appraisal shall be borne by the agency.

(c) Resources shall be considered available both when actually available and when the applicant or recipient has the legal ability to make them available. A resource shall be considered unavailable when there is a legal impediment that precludes the disposal of the resource. The applicant or recipient shall pursue reasonable steps to overcome the legal impediment unless it is determined that the cost of pursuing legal action would exceed the resource value of the property or that it is unlikely the applicant or recipient would succeed in the legal action.

(d) The resource value of property shall be that of the applicant's or recipient's equity in the property. Unless otherwise established, the proportionate share of jointly owned real property and the full value of jointly owned personal property shall be considered available to the applicant or recipient. Resources held jointly with a non-legally responsible person may be excluded from consideration if the applicant or recipient can demonstrate that the applicant or recipient has no ownership interest in the resource, that the applicant or recipient has not contributed to the resource, and that any access to the resource by the applicant or recipient is limited to acting as an agent for the other person.

(e) Except as provided in subsection (h) and (l), nonexempt resources of all persons in the assistance plan and the nonexempt resources of persons who have been excluded from the assistance plan pursuant to K.A.R. 30-4-70 (e)(3) and 30-4-90 (a)(3) shall be considered.

(f) Except as provided in subsection (h), the combined resources of husband and wife, if they are living together, shall be considered in determining the eligibility of either or both for assistance, unless otherwise prohibited by law. A husband and wife shall be considered to be living together if they are regularly residing in the same household. Temporary absences of one of the couple for education or training, working, securing medical treatment, or visiting shall not be considered to interrupt the couple's living together.

(g) Despite subsections (e) and (f), the resources of an SSI beneficiary shall not be considered in the determination of eligibility for assistance of any other person, except for funeral assistance.

(h) The resources of an alien sponsor and the sponsor's spouse shall be considered in determining eligibility for the alien.

(i) A conversion of real or personal property from one form of a resource to another shall not be considered as income for the applicant or recipient except for the proceeds from a contract for the sale of property.

(j) Income shall not be considered both as income and as property in the same month.

(k) Despite subsection (e) above, the resources of a child whose needs are met through foster care payments shall not be considered.

(l) This regulation shall take effect on and after October 1, 1997.

30-4-111. Income.

(a) "Income" shall mean the amount of earned and unearned income that is subtracted from the benefit standard in determining the benefit amount for TANF.

(b) Earned income for persons included in the assistance plan shall equal gross earned income or the adjusted gross earned income from self-employment, less the following items:

A standard deduction of 25 percent of gross earned income shall be allowed for these costs. If the person wishes to claim actual costs incurred, the following shall be used by the department in calculating the cost of the production of the income:

(1) The public assistance program shall not be used to pay debts, set up an individual in business, subsidize a nonprofit activity, or treat income on the basis of internal revenue service (IRS) policies.

(2) If losses are suffered from self-employment, the losses shall not be deducted from other income, nor may a net loss of a business be considered an income-producing cost.

(3) If a business is being conducted from a location other than the applicant's or recipient's home, the expenses for business space and utilities shall be considered income-producing costs.

(4) If a business is being conducted from a person's own home, shelter and utility costs shall not be considered income-producing costs unless they are clearly distinguishable from the operation of the home.

(5) If payments increase the equity in equipment, vehicles, or other property, the payments shall not be considered income-producing costs.

(6) If equipment, vehicles, or other property is being purchased on an installment plan, the actual interest paid may be considered an income-producing cost.

(7) Depreciation on equipment, vehicles, or other property shall not be considered an income-producing cost.

(8) Insurance payments on equipment, vehicles, or other property shall be allowed if the payments directly relate to the business.

(9) Expenses for items that are reasonable and required for the business shall be considered income-producing costs.

(10) Wages and other mandated costs related to wages paid by the applicant or recipient shall be considered income-producing costs.

(d) The income for a person in the home whose income is required to be considered and who is not included in the assistance plan shall equal all nonexempt, unearned income and gross earnings, or adjusted gross earnings of the self-employed, without the application of any income disregards, unless otherwise prohibited by federal law or regulation or state or local law or regulation.

(B) continue the recipient on protective payment status; or

(i) Placement with another relative;

(ii) seeking appointment of a guardian; or

(iii) placement in a foster home.

(7) Discontinuance of protective payments. Protective payments shall be discontinued when the caretaker has demonstrated an ability to manage the money payment or after a period of two years has lapsed, whichever comes first. Payment may continue for any additional time reasonably necessary to complete a substitute plan for the care of the child.

(8) Discontinuance of protective payments. Protective payments shall be discontinued under either of the following conditions:

(A) The individual who failed to complete a drug test completes that person's period of ineligibility, submits to a drug test, and has a negative result for illegal controlled substances.

(B) The individual who tested positive for an illegal controlled substance successfully completes the requirements to regain eligibility for cash assistance.

(f) Special personal representative. A petition for the appointment of a personal representative shall be filed by the department pursuant to K.S.A. 59-2801 , and amendments thereto, only if the need for an appointment is clearly established and the department has counseled the applicant or recipient concerning the money management problems.

(B) The person shall not benefit directly from the assistance payment.

(2) Dismissal of personal representative. A recommendation to the court to dismiss a personal representative shall be made by the department if the client demonstrates that the client no longer requires a personal representative, or if the personal representative is failing to execute the responsibilities specified in this regulation, in which instance a substitute personal representative shall be recommended by the department.

(3) Responsibility of personal representative. Each personal representative shall be responsible to the court, the department, and the recipient. Each personal representative shall make an annual accounting to both the court and the department. A more frequent accounting may be required by the department or the court in the form and at the times prescribed by the department or the court. Each personal representative shall maintain a confidential relationship with the applicant or recipient and shall consult with the applicant or recipient concerning the applicant's or recipient's requirements, resources, and the use of the money payment.

(4) Periodic review. The necessity of continuing the appointment of a personal representative shall be reviewed semiannually. Consideration shall be given to whether or not the recipient's ability to manage personal affairs has improved or if other changes in the recipient's circumstances or living arrangements make it possible for the recipient to manage without the help of a personal representative.
