Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) A student's permanent residence is considered to be with his or her parents even though he or she is temporarily absent to attend college. A student shall be determined "not living with parents" only when the CWA has verified that all of the following conditions exist:

1. The student lives apart from his or her parents for reasons other than convenience of attending school;

2. His or her parents do not provide one-half or more of his or her support; and

3. His or her parents did not claim the student as an exemption on their most recent Federal income tax return or they affirm that the student will not be claimed on their next return.

(b) Eligibility shall be determined on a semester basis inclusive of vacations during such semester. When a student is not actually attending college classes during other periods, such as summer vacations or other breaks of one month or more, a separate eligibility determination shall be required based on current circumstances.

(c) Income from all sources shall be applied in determining eligibility of college students not living with his or her parent(s), except that educational loans and grants shall be treated in accordance with 10:69-10.8. All earnings of the student shall be considered for purposes of Medicaid Special (see 10:69-4.2(b) ).

(d) See 10:69-4.2 for other factors relating to eligibility.
