Idaho Admin. Code r. 16.03.05.453
Income is deemed from an ineligible parent, or his ineligible spouse, to a child participant under age eighteen (18) living in the same household. A stepparent's income is deemed to the child for AABD cash, but not Medicaid. The income is deemed as described in Subsections 453.01 through 453.11.
TABLE 453 - INCOME DEEMED FROM INELIGIBLE PARENT | ||
Step | Procedure | |
01. | Compute Child's Living Allowance | Compute the living allowance for each ineligible child in the household. The living allowance is the difference between the basic allowance for a person living alone and the basic allowance for a couple. Round up cents to the next dollar. A child receiving public income-maintenance payments does not get a living allowance. Subtract the child's unearned income from his living allowance. Subtract the child's earned income from any living allowance remaining. Subtract the remaining living allowance, for each ineligible child in the household, from the ineligible parents unearned income. If any living allowance remains subtract it from the parent's earned income. |
02. | Remaining Parental Income | The parent may have remaining income. Go to Subsection 453.03. |
03. | Subtract Income Disregard | Subtract one (1) standard twenty dollar ($20) disregard from the unearned income of the parents. If unearned income is less than twenty dollars ($20) subtract the balance of the twenty dollars ($20) from the earned income of the parents. |
04. | Subtract Earned Income Disregard | Subtract one (1) sixty-five dollar ($65) earned income disregard from the earned income of the parents. Subtract one-half (1/2) of the remaining balance of the earned income of the parents. |
05. | Combine Income | Combine any remaining parental earned income with any remaining parental unearned income. |
06. | Compute Living Allowance for Parent | Compute a living allowance for the ineligible parent. For one (1) parent, the living allowance is the basic allowance for a person living alone. For two (2) parents, the living allowance is the basic allowance for a couple. A parent receiving public income maintenance payments does not get a living allowance. |
07. | Subtract Living Allowance | Subtract the parent living allowance from the remaining balance of the parent's income. This is the deemed parental income. |
08. | Divide Deemed Income | If there is more than one (1) child participant in the household, the deemed parental income is divided equally between those children. Each child's share of parental income must only reduce the amount of his AABD cash to zero, when combined with the child's own countable income. Excess deemed parental income, remaining after a child participant's AABD cash is reduced to zero, is divided equally between the other child participants in the household. The excess deemed income is combined with their share of the parental income available for deeming. |
09. | Subtract Disregard | Subtract the standard twenty dollar ($20) disregard from each child participant's unearned income, including deemed income. If a child's total unearned income is less than twenty dollars ($20), subtract the balance of the standard disregard from the child's earned income. |
10. | Subtract Disregard | Subtract the sixty-five dollar ($65) earned income disregard and one-half of the balance from each child's own earned income. |
11. | Combine Income | Combine each child's unearned income with his earned income. If the child's remaining countable income is less than his actual budgeted needs, the child has a budget deficit. If the child is otherwise eligible, his AABD cash is the budget deficit. |
