379 (07/2026) Chapter 2:Eligibility • Section 5: Financial eligibility dependent to file federal taxes. If any or all of the SSB/SSDI is taxable, only the taxable amount is factored into the requirement to file federal taxes determination. (a) If the child/tax dependent is determined to be required to file taxes, all of the SSB/SSDI, along with other countable income the child/tax dependent receives, is countable for all EDGs whom the child/tax dependent is an EDG member of. (b) If the child is determined to not be required to file taxes, none of the SSB/SSDI, along with other income the child receives, is countable for their own EDG and other EDGs whom the child is an EDG member of. (c) If the tax dependent is determined to not be required to file taxes, none of the SSB/SSDI, along with other income the tax dependent receives, is countable for their tax filer and tax filer’s children. However, all of the SSB/SSDI, along with other income the tax dependent receives, is countable for the tax dependent. If the tax dependent’s EDG includes siblings, all of the tax dependent’s SSB/SSDI and other income is countable towards the siblings’ EDG. When Social Security income is reported, the full amount as reported, or the gross amount as found in Social Security screens, should be entered into ONE. ONE will perform all calculations necessary to determine if the child/ tax dependent’s SSB, SSDI, and other income, is countable and apply the outcome towards all EDGs on the case.
