ALLOCATED INCOME (FAM)

___________________________________________________________

Income paid by a FANF assistance group to provide for the unmet needs of a dependent of a FANF recipient. The dependent can be neither applying for or receiving FANF or adult category financial *assistance, nor disqualified from assistance for failure or refusal to meet FANF program requirements.

A dependent is either of the following:

• an individual the FANF recipient claims or can claim as a federal tax dependent for personal income tax purposes; or

• an individual who the FANF recipient is legally obligated to support.

Treatment:

Income allocated for dependents in the FANF household but not in the assistance group: Deduct the FANF payment standard for the appropriate group size.

Allocated income paid by the assistance group for dependents outside the FANF household: Deduct the amount the FANF individual actually pays to support the dependent.
