			 When a participant lives with a spouse, his resources include those of the
			 spouse. The resource limit is for a couple, when the spouse was a member of the
			 household as of the first moment of the benefit month. The AABD resource
			 exclusions are subtracted. Pension funds the ineligible spouse has on deposit
			 are excluded. (3-17-22)

Resources of Parent(s) of Child Under Age Eighteen
. When a child
			 participant, under age eighteen (18), is living with his parent or the spouse
			 of his parent, their resources are deemed to the child. When there is more than
			 one (1) child participant in the household, deemed parental resources are
			 divided equally among the child AABD cash participants. When the child lives
			 with one (1) parent, resources over the single person resource limit are deemed
			 to the child. When the child lives with both parents, resources over the couple
			 limit are deemed to the child. A stepparent's resources are not deemed to the
			 child for Medicaid eligibility. A stepparent's resources are deemed to the
			 child for AABD cash. Resources and exclusions of the child participant, and the
			 parents, are computed separately. Pension funds owned by an ineligible parent
			 or parent's spouse are excluded from resources for deeming. (3-17-22)

			 person's countable resources are combined with the participant's countable
			 resources. When the essential person is not the participant's spouse, the
			 single person resource limit is used. When the essential person is the
			 participant's ineligible spouse, the couple resource limit is used.
