Support from Parents - In situations in which a caretaker is in the home, but not in the assistance unit (including a minor caretaker excluded because she is not in compliance with compulsory school attendance requirements, or excluded for any other reason listed at 302.70), all income of the individual will be considered as income available to the assistance unit in accordance with Section 305.4.E.1.d.

B. Support from Stepparents - A stepparent, 1iving in the home, married to the parent of the TANF child(ren), is responsible for support of his/her spouse and the eligible child(ren) of the spouse. The actual amount, if any, of support provided by the stepparent, will be the amount established in accordance with Section 305.4.F.

Note: If the parent of the TANF children is deceased, or not living in the home due to separation or divorce, the income of the stepparent will not be deemed to the children. See 305.4F (1 ).

A stepparent who is not living in the same home with the spouse who is the natural or adoptive parent of the TANF children is not responsible for support of the children. The stepparent remains legally responsible for the support of his/her spouse. Spousal support, if any, paid by the stepparent living away from the home to the spouse, will be counted as income.
