24-001.01E Joint Physical Custody

Official source

In a household where both parents are present, though not necessarily continuously, income and resources of each must be used in a child’s eligibility determination and the needs of both parents included in the unit. This includes situations in which the non-custodial parent has sufficiently frequent contact with the child(ren) so that the normal parental roles of providing guidance, physical care, and maintenance have not been interrupted. This policy applies when there is joint physical (shared) custody in which the physical custody of the child(ren) is split between both parents. This can be either on a scheduled basis as included in a divorce decree or on an informal basis as agreed to by both parents. The percentage of time spent with each parent is irrelevant in a joint custody arrangement for Non-MAGI cases.
