256J.36 ALLOCATION FOR UNMET NEED OF OTHER HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS.
Except as prohibited in paragraphs (a) and (b), an allocation of income is allowed from
the caregiver's income to meet the unmet need of an ineligible spouse or an ineligible child
under the age of 21 for whom the caregiver is financially responsible who also lives with the
caregiver. That allocation is allowed in an amount up to the difference between the MFIP standard
of need for the assistance unit when that ineligible person is included in the assistance unit and
the MFIP standard of need for the assistance unit when the ineligible person is not included in
the assistance unit. These allocations must be deducted from the caregiver's counted earnings
and from unearned income subject to paragraphs (a) and (b).
(a) Income of a minor child in the assistance unit must not be allocated to meet the need
of an ineligible person, including the child's parent, even when that parent is the payee of the
child's income.
(b) Income of a caregiver must not be allocated to meet the needs of a disqualified person.
