007.07 MINOR’S PARENT NOT RECEIVING CATEGORICAL ASSISTANCE.

If a minor is living in his or her parent’s home and the parent is not receiving categorical assistance, the minor may apply for assistance for himself or herself and his or her child. Since the minor’s parent is considered responsible for the minor, income of the minor’s parent’s over 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Level for the household must be deemed to the minor parent and the child. For the purposes of determining the 300 percent Federal Poverty Level, the household includes the minor’s parent and any 18-year-old or younger siblings of the minor parent.
