400.24.03 CHILD NOT LIVING WITH A PARENT EXCEPTION

A child who does not live with a parent and is not claimed as a tax dependent by a parent is a non-filer child. In such a case, the child’s income counts for his/her own eligibility and the eligibility of the child’s other non-filer household members, such as siblings, without consideration of whether the child is “required to file” or not. Page | Example: Siblings Beth, Bobby and Billy live with their grandmother. Each child receives $900 in Social Security benefits from their deceased father. Each child’s income from Social Security counts toward their own eligibility and each sibling’s eligibility. Their MAGI household size is 3 and their MAGI household income is $2,700.
