TABLE 452 - INCOME DEEMED FROM
						  INELIGIBLE SPOUSE
Step
Procedure
01.
Compute Child's Living Allowance.
Compute the living allowance for each ineligible child
						  in the household. The living allowance is the difference between the basic
						  allowance for a person living alone and the basic allowance for a couple. Round
						  up cents to the next dollar. A child receiving public income-maintenance
						  payments does not get a living allowance.
Subtract the child's unearned income from his living
						  allowance.
Subtract the child's earned income from any living
						  allowance remaining.
02.
Adjust Spouse Income with Child's Living
						  Allowance
Subtract the remaining living allowance, for each
						  ineligible child in the household, from the ineligible spouse's gross unearned
						  income, then from gross earned income.
03.
Add Adjusted Earned and Unearned
						  Incomes
Add adjusted earned and unearned income. This is the
						  deemed income of the ineligible spouse.
04.
Compute Participant's Needs as a Single
						  Person
Compute the participant's budgeted AABD needs as if he
						  was a single person, living alone.
05.
Deemed Income Equal to or Less Than One-Half of
						  Participant's Needs
If the deemed income is equal to, or less than,
						  one-half of the participant's budgeted needs, computed as if he was a single
						  person living alone, no income is deemed from the ineligible
						  spouse.
06.
Deemed Income More Than One-Half Participant's
						  Needs
If the deemed income is more than one-half of the
						  participant's budgeted needs, computed as if he was a single person living
						  alone, continue the deeming process.
07.
Compute Participant's Income
Add the remaining earned and unearned ineligible spouse
						  deemed income (after the ineligible child deduction) to the gross earned and
						  unearned incomes of the participant. This is the total earned and unearned
						  income.
Subtract the standard disregard of twenty dollars ($20)
						  from the total unearned income.
If the total unearned income is less than twenty
						  dollars ($20), subtract the remainder from the total earned income.
Subtract the earned income disregard of sixty-five
						  dollars ($65) from the earned income.
Subtract one-half of the remaining earned
						  income.
Combine the remaining unearned income and the remaining
						  earned income to compute the participant's total countable income.
Determine the couple's budgeted needs as if they were
						  an eligible couple.
If the participant's countable income, including deemed
						  income, is more than the couple's budgeted needs, the participant is
						  ineligible.
If the participant's countable income, including deemed
						  income, is less than the couple's budgeted needs compute the participant's AABD
						  cash.
08.
Determine AABD Cash
Subtract the participant's countable and deemed incomes
						  from the couple's budgeted needs, to compute the budget deficit.
Compute a second budget deficit, using the
						  participant's income, and the single person budgeted needs.
AABD cash is the smaller of the two (2) budget
						  deficits.
