Step 11: Add the amounts from Steps 7 and 10. Step 12: Subtract the maximum SSI payment for a couple from the Step 11 amount. The amount remaining after Step 12 is deemed to the SSI-Related child as unearned income. If there is more than one SSI-Related child, divide the amount equally among the SSI-Related children. 4.15.4.E Irregular Income Regardless of the source, irregular income is excluded because it cannot be anticipated. 4.15.4.F Lump-Sum Payments Lump-sum payments are treated as unearned income in the month received. 4.15.4.G Withheld Income 4.15.4.G.1 From Earned Income Earnings withheld to repay an advance payment are disregarded if they were counted in the month received. If not counted in the month received, the withheld earnings are income. No other earned income is excluded just because it is withheld by the employer. NOTE: If the amount from Step 11 is equal to or less than the maximum SSI payment for a couple, no income is deemed to the SSI-Related Child. If it is greater, continue.
