➢ When at Least One Dependent Child Has Income For children in the home with income, add together the non-excluded income of the child and the parent(s), unless one of the parents is an SSI-Related Medicaid client. In this case, the SSI- Related Medicaid disregards and deductions are applied to his income and the remainder is added to the income of the other parent and the child, after the AFDC-Related Medicaid disregards and deductions have been applied to the income of the other parent and child. 4.16.4.D.4 Deeming When There Is a Stepparent, Caretaker Relative Other Than a Parent or a MP The following procedures are used to deem income when there is a stepparent, caretaker relative other than a parent or a MP. ➢ When There Is a Stepparent The stepparent's income is deemed only to the parent. When deeming from the parent to the children, none of the amount deemed from the stepparent is deemed to the children. ▪ Determining the Income Used for the Parent The parent's countable income is added to the stepparent's countable income. ▪ Determining the Child's Countable Income The child's own countable income is added to the parent's own countable income. Do not include any of the amount deemed for the parent from the stepparent. NOTE: Throughout this item, if any of the individuals from whom income is deemed is an SSI- Related Medicaid client, then the SSI-Related Medicaid income exclusions, disregards, and deductions are applied to his own income only, and are applied prior to deeming the income, even when he is a parent of the child. The deemed income is added to that of other members of the IG after the AFDC-Related Medicaid disregards and deductions have been applied to their income.
