Part of the income of all ineligible non-citizens who live with a unit must be counted as available to the unit. To determine the amount:
1. | Determine the total gross income of the ineligible non-citizen(s). See 0017 (Determining Gross Income). |
2. | Divide the total gross income of the ineligible non-citizen(s) by the number of people in the unit, including the ineligible non-citizen member (or members, if there is more than 1 ineligible non-citizen in the unit). |
3. | Disregard the prorated share of the income for the ineligible unit member(s). The remaining income is the unit's share. |
4. | Apply the Gross Income Test. See 0019 (Gross Income Test). If the unit fails the GIT, deny or terminate assistance. If the unit passes the GIT, proceed to Steps 5 through 6. |
5. | From the unit's share (which you determined on Step 3), disregard 20% of the earned income. See 0018.18 (Earned Income Disregards). |
6. | The resulting amount is unearned income to the unit. Include this amount in the unit's net income test. See 0020 (Net Income Limits). |
