189 (2) SSN disqualifications and Ineligible ABAWDs

The eligibility and benefit level of any remaining household members of a household containing individuals determined to be ineligible for refusal to obtain or provide an SSN or for not meeting the time limit for ABAWD, will be determined as follows: (A) Resources. The resources of such ineligible members will continue to count in their entirety to the remaining household members. (B) Income. A pro rata share of the income of such ineligible members will be counted as income to the remaining members. This pro rata share is calculated by first subtracting the allowable exclusions from the ineligible member's income and dividing the income evenly among the household members, including the ineligible members. All but the ineligible members' share is counted as income for the remaining household members. (C) Deductible expenses. The 20 percent earned income deduction will apply to the prorated income earned by such ineligible members which is attributed to their households.

Comparing the household's resources with the resource eligibility limits. (3) Ineligible non-citizen The Agency must determine the eligibility and benefit level of any remaining household members of a household containing an ineligible non-citizen (See Section for rules pertaining to determining non-citizen status) as follows: (A) Resources. The resources of ineligible non-citizens will continue to count in their entirety to the remaining household members. (B) Income. A pro rata share of the income of ineligible non-citizens will be counted as income to the remaining members. This pro rata share is calculated by first subtracting the allowable exclusions from the ineligible member's income and dividing the income evenly among the
