INCOME FROM INELIGIBLE PARENTS

0016.15

2. Deduct an allocation for each of the parent's ineligible children living in the home. Use the difference between the SSI Federal Benefit Rate (FBR) for an individual and the FBR for a couple. See 0029.06.03 (Supplemental Security Income Program) for the current rates. Reduce the allocation for each child by the amount of the child's own income. Do not allow an allocation for children on MFIP.

3. Allow a $20 standard disregard from any remaining unearned income. If the remaining unearned income is less than $20, deduct the remainder of the $20 disregard from the parent's earned income.

4. Deduct $65 and ½ the remainder of the parents' earned income.

5. Combine the parents' remaining earned and unearned income.

6. Deduct an amount for the parents' needs. Allow the couple FBR if both parents or a parent and spouse live in the home. Allow the individual FBR for a parent with no spouse in the home. Allow no deduction for a parent who receives cash assistance or SSI.

7. Divide the income remaining from Step 6 by the number of MSA-eligible children in the home. Add this amount to each eligible child's net income.
