B. RESERVE DEEMING PROCEDURES AND COMPUTATIONS

Deem resources of a parent(s) to a "Medicaid Child" (parents not receiving SSI, AAF or CAP).

1. If only one parent is living in the household:

a. Determine the parent's countable resources.

b. Subtract the individual resource limit from the parent’s countable resources (see VII. for income/reserve limits).

c. Deem the excess from 1.A., above to the eligible child(ren).

(1) If there is only one child in the household who is applying for or receiving M-AABD/M-QB, deem all of the excess resources of the parent to that child.

(2) If there is more than one child in the household who is applying for or receiving M-AABD/M-QB, divide the excess resources of the parent equally among those children.

(3) There is no exclusion from the parent's resources for children in the household who are not applying for or receiving M-AABD/M-QB.

d. Add the reserve deemed from the parent to the child's countable resources to determine the child's total countable reserve. Compare this amount to the reserve limit for one.

e. Do not deem parent's resources when an M-AABD/M-QB child is defined as a "Medicaid Individual."

2. If two parents live in the household:

a. Determine the parents' total countable resources.

b. Subtract the couple resource limit from the combined resources of both parents (see VII. for income/reserve limits).

c. Deem the amount of excess reserve from 2.b., above to the eligible child(ren).

(1) If there is only one child in the household who is applying for or receiving M-AABD/M-QB, deem all of the excess resources of the parents to that child.
