400.12.04A ELIGIBLE WITH INELIGIBLE SPOUSE AND ELIGIBLE CHILD APPLIES

(WITH OR WITHOUT OTHER INELIGIBLE CHILDREN) Use the “Eligible Individual with Ineligible Spouse – with or without children” budget to determine if the eligible spouse/parent is eligible based on income. Allocate to ineligible children, if appropriate. If the eligible spouse/parent is eligible, there is no income to deem to the eligible child. The child’s eligibility is then determined using the child’s own income, if any. If the eligible spouse/parent is not eligible after deeming: • Liberalized policy – the excess income that exceeds the FPL for a couple is the income that is deemed to the eligible child; or • SSI policy – income that is the difference between the FBR and the parent’s net countable income is the income to be deemed to the eligible child. The child’s own income plus the deemed income (treated as unearned income to the child) is used to determine the child’s eligibility.
