Income Allocated to Dependents SR 12-09, 03/12 (FAM-A)

Deduct the unmet needs of a dependent outside of the FANF assistance group as an allowable deduction.

Income can be allocated for an individual that the FANF individual can claim as a dependent for personal income tax purposes or is legally obligated to support, provided that:

• the dependent is not applying for or receiving any assistance from the Department;

• the dependent is not required to be included in the FANF assistance group; and

• the dependent has not been sanctioned or excluded for failure or refusal to meet FANF program requirements.

For dependents outside of the FANF assistance group who reside in the home (e.g., an *ineligible alien who cannot receive assistance), allow as a deduction the difference between the net case income and the FANF payment standard for the number of individuals for whom income is allocated (dependents residing in the home who are not in the FANF group). Other income must be deducted from the payment standard before calculating the allowable deduction.

For dependents outside of the FANF assistance group who reside outside of the home, define their needs as the amount the FANF individual actually pays for the dependent.
