Cash payments from the non-household member to the household will be considered income under the normal income standards set in Section 11.2 Definition of Income. Vendor payments, as defined in Section 11.6 Income Exclusions, will be excluded as income. If the household shares deductible expenses with the non-household member, only the amount actually paid or contributed by the household will be deducted as a household expense. If the payments or contributions cannot be differentiated, the expenses will be prorated evenly among persons actually paying or contributing to the expense and only the household's pro rata share deducted. When the earned income of one or more household members and the earned income of a non- household member are combined into one wage, the income of the household members will be determined as follows: (A) If the household's share can be identified, the Agency will count that portion due to the household as earned income. (B) If the household's share cannot be identified, the Agency will prorate the earned income among all those whom it was intended to cover and count that prorated portion to the household.
