If the parent and the children have resources, do not consider any of them available to the stepparent unless they can be identified as belonging only to the parent. Then consider only one half of these resources as indicated above. 6. A parent and stepparent who also have children by this current legal union and one parent is determined incapacitated. 7. A TANF family consisting of a parent and his/her children living with a stepparent who has children by a prior union. In this situation each set of children will be in a separate case and therefore have separate $2000 limits. If there are children by the current union as well and one parent is incapacitated, assistance unit policy applies and the parents and all of the children will be budgeted together with a $2000 maximum. 8. A TANF family consisting of a parent and his/her children living in the home of an unrelated adult. Do not consider any of the resources of the unrelated adult available to the parent or to the children, except to the extent to which the unrelated adult makes them available. If the unrelated adult is the putative father, do not consider any of his resources until paternity has been established for his children.
