When Income and Allowable Income Deductions are Verified and Changed 400-28-75-50
(Revised 8/1/13 ML #3374)
Verification of gross income and allowable income deductions for all household members is required at application, 6 month review, or when a case changes from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay.
In an ongoing case, changes in gross income or allowable income deductions for existing household members are not acted upon, unless the household’s monthly gross income less the monthly amount the household is paying for court ordered child support or spousal support exceeds the highest income level for its household size (Refer to 400-28-75-45, Income Levels and 400-28-125-05, Mandatory Changes).
In an ongoing case if the household's countable income exceeds the highest income limit for its household size and the increase in income is anticipated to continue, a closing notice for excess income must be sent to close the case at the end of the month the closing notice is sent.
If in an ongoing case if the household's countable income exceeds the highest income limit for its household size and the household does not anticipate the income will continue to exceed the highest income limit, the household must provide verification of all of the future month income and allowable expenses, the total amount of which must be less than the appropriate income limit in order for future month eligibility to be established.
When adding a household member, only the household member who is being added must verify their gross income and allowable income deductions. No change in income or deductions are made to the income and deductions of the already existing household members, unless the addition of a household member causes the household to exceed the highest income limit for its household size. (Refer to policy at 400-28-75-45, Income Levels and 400-28-125-05, Mandatory Changes.)
When removing a person, the gross income and allowable income deductions of the person being removed are deleted for the same month the individual is being removed from the case. No change in income or deductions are made to the income and deductions of the already existing household members unless removing a household member causes the household to exceed the highest income limit for its household size. (Refer to policy at 400-28-75-45, Income Levels and 400-28-125-05, Mandatory Changes.)
When a case goes from Co-pay to Waived Co-pay, the gross income and allowable income deductions of all household members are not counted and must be removed from the Child Care Assistance Program payment system. (Refer to 400-28-75-35, Determining Prospective Income When Changing from Co-pay to Waived Co-pay.)
When a case goes from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay, refer to 400-28-75-30, Determining Prospective Income When Changing from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay.
