A. The resources of these ineligible non-household members will continue to count in their entirety for the remaining household members.

B. A pro rata share of the income of these ineligible non-household members will be counted as income to the remaining household members. This pro rata share is calculated by first subtracting the allowable exclusions from the ineligible member's income and dividing the income evenly among the household members, including the ineligible members. Everything except the ineligible member's share is counted as income for the remaining household members.

C. The 20% earned income deduction will apply to the prorated income earned by the above referenced ineligible household members. That portion of the household's allowable child support payment, shelter and dependent care expenses which are either paid by or billed to the ineligible members will be divided evenly among the household members, including the ineligible members. Everything except the ineligible member's share is counted as a deductible child support payment, shelter or dependent care expense for the remaining household members.

D. The aforementioned ineligible non-household members must not be included when determining the household's size for the purposes of:

1. Assigning a benefit level to the household;

2. Assigning a standard deduction to the household;

3. Comparing the household's monthly income with the income eligibility standards; or

4. Comparing the household's resources with the resource eligibility standards.
