INCOME OF INELIGIBLE NON-CITIZENS

0016.33

MFIP, DWP: See 0016.06 (Income From Ineligible Spouse of Unit Member), 0016.09 (Income From Ineligible Stepparents), 0016.15 (Income From Ineligible Parents), 0016.18 (Income of Inel. Parent/Guard. of Minor Crgvr).

SNAP: Count all but a pro rata share of the ineligible non-citizen’s income toward the unit. The pro rata share must be calculated separately for earned and unearned income using the following steps:

1. Determine the ineligible non-citizen’s gross income. See 0017 (Determining Gross Income).

2. Divide the income from Step 1 by the number of unit members. The result is each member’s pro rata share of the ineligible non-citizen’s income.

3. Multiply the result in Step 2 by the number of eligible unit members to determine the pro rata share of the ineligible non- citizens income that is added to the unit’s other earned and/or unearned income.

4. Apply the Gross Income Test. See 0019 (Gross Income Test). If the unit fails the GIT, deny or terminate assistance. If the unit passes the GIT, determine the unit’s net income, net adjusted income and monthly allotment. For information on allowable deductions billed to or paid by an ineligible non-citizen, see 0018 (Determining Net Income). Also see 0018.33 (Child and Spousal Support Deductions).

MSA: See 0016.06 (Income From Ineligible Spouse of Unit Member), 0016.09 (Income From Ineligible Stepparents), 0016.15 (Income From Ineligible Parents).

GA: Part of the income of an ineligible non-citizen may be counted as available to the unit. To determine the amount to count:

1. Determine the ineligible person's gross income.

2. Allow the same deductions as for unit members. See 0018 (Determining Net Income).

3. Deduct the 1st adult standard as a deduction for the person's own needs.

4. The resulting amount is unearned income to the unit.

GRH: No provisions.
