When the remaining amount is less than the Allocation Standard, no income is deemed from the ineligible spouse and the individual income limit is used. When the remaining amount is in excess of the Allocation Standard, the ineligible spouse's remaining earned income from Step 4 is added to the SSI-Related spouse's earned income, and the ineligible spouse's remaining unearned income from Step 2 is added to the SSI-Related spouse's unearned income. The income limit for two persons is used, even though only one spouse is in the AG. 4.15.4.D.4 Deeming from Parent(s) to SSI-Related Child(ren) See Section 4.2 for the definition of child. The deeming calculations are as follows: Step 1: Determine the total countable gross unearned income of the eligible and ineligible parents. Step 2: Subtract the needs of all ineligible children. The need of each ineligible child is determined separately by subtracting the child's own income from the Allocation Standard. After a separate determination is made for each ineligible child, the allocations are added together and then subtracted from income. Step 3: Determine the total countable gross earned income of the eligible and ineligible parents. Step 4: Subtract the needs of the ineligible children that were not subtracted in Step 2. Step 5: Subtract the SSI $20 disregard from the amount in Step 2. Step 6: Subtract any remainder of the SSI $20 disregard from the amount in Step 4. Step 7: Apply the SSI $65 plus half of the earned income disregard to the amount remaining from Step 6. Step 8: Add together the amounts from Steps 5 and 7. NOTE: When the person from whom income is deemed receives Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) based on disability or received that benefit prior to becoming age 65, SSI Impairment-Related Work Expenses, if appropriate, are deducted after the $65, but prior to deducting the remaining half. See Earned Income in Section 4.15.2.A.
