DISQUALIFIED MEMBER’S INCOME SR 13-36, 11/13 (MAM-A)

When a FANF member is disqualified for intentional program violation, the income of the disqualified parent is considered to be available to the remaining eligible FANF assistance group members.

Treatment: Unearned Income

Exceptions:

The disqualified parent’s income is treated as follows:

• All of a disqualified parent’s income is available to the FANF assistance group. An excluded parent is not allowed an employment expense disregard, and earned income disregard, or child care disregard.

• A disqualified parent’s total income is prorated to a spouse and their children in the FANF assistance group. The disqualified member is not included in any prorating; their needs are not factored in.

If a family member is in a separate MA-only case, that family member is also not included in any prorating.

Individuals sanctioned for failure to comply with child support or NHEP work program requirements, including voluntary quit, are not disqualified individuals.
