002.09(D)(i) DEEMED INCOME FOR INDIGENT IMMIGRANTS.

The Department will determine the amount of income and other assistance provided in the month of application. This income is the sum of the eligible sponsored alien household’s own income, the cash contributions of the sponsors and others, and the value of any in-kind assistance of the sponsor or others. If the alien is indigent, the amount that will be deemed will be the amount actually provided for a period beginning on the date of determination and ending 12 months after the determination date. Each instance of indigence is renewable for an additional 12-month period.
