CHILD SUPPORT/ALIMONY: ABD: Clients who verify they are paying legally obligated child support and/or alimony will have the actual amount paid (up to full obligation) deducted from their income before any other disregards or deductions are applied. The payments are deducted from unearned income first, and then any amount remaining is deducted from earned income. NOTE: Individuals who receive a spousal or family income maintenance allowance cannot also be allowed a child support/alimony disregard. If the payment includes both current support and arrears, the full amount is deducted as long as the arrears were legally obligated when incurred. Family Medically Needy: Clients who verify they are paying legally obligated child support have the amount actually paid deducted from their countable income after all other disregards are applied. DEPENDENT CARE DISREGARD: Family Medically Needy: Up to $200 per month may be deducted for each dependent or incapacitated adult who lives with the earner, receives Medicaid under any program, and who is cared for by someone outside the filing unit. Verified dependent care costs are allowed for a household member to accept/continue employment, seek employment, or attend school/training necessary to gain employment. GENERAL INCOME DISREGARD: ABD: A $20 general income disregard is first applied to unearned income; any disregard remaining is then applied to earned income. MEDICALLY NEEDY INCOME DEDUCTION: ABD: After a case has been determined medically needy, a $391 deduction (regardless of filing unit size) is applied that reduces the spend down by $391. If the spend down is less than $391, it is reduced to $0.00. This deduction will increase each year by the COLA increase.
