In the determination of eligibility for benefits and in the determination of the amount of the assistance payment under section 208.150, that portion of the stepparent's income, as defined by the family support division in the administration of aid to families with dependent children, shall be considered. ­­-------- (L. 1977 H.B. 601 § 3, A.L. 1982 H.B. 1462, A.L. 2014 H.B. 1299 Revision)
