section-xii CHILD SUPPORT

Official source

Child support is considered unearned income for the dependent child. If child support is received by the household for a child who is not a required household unit member, determine whether it is to the household’s advantage to exclude that child from the Work First assistance unit. (Remember, the income of non- assistance unit members is not countable income). If a participant is receiving child support for an adult child (over age 18) or a child who no longer lives in the household, the child support is countable unearned income to the participant. Note: For ongoing cases, if the child is age 18 or older and is a student in high school who is expected to graduate no later than the month of their 19th birthday, budget the child support as unearned income to the child.
