Allowable deductions are deducted from gross countable income. Allowable deductions must be verified. If the allowable deductions are not verified, they cannot be allowed.

 

The only allowable deduction from gross countable income is court ordered child/spousal support paid, including arrearages.

 

If eligibility is being determined for a prior month, policy that applies to allowable income deductions is found in Section 400-28-70-10, Converting Allowable Income Deductions.

 

If eligibility is being determined prospectively for allowable income deductions, policy that is applied to income is applied to allowable deductions and is found in the Child Care Assistance Program manual section 400-28-75, Budgeting for the Child Care Assistance Program.

 

A household must be given the opportunity to verify allowable deductions. If a household has been given that opportunity and does not provide the verifications, the case is processed without consideration of the claimed deductions.

 

If deductions are not provided when requested, but provided after the case has been processed, the deductions cannot be used. The household will be given the opportunity to claim those expenses at the next application, 6 month review and when a case changes from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay to provide current information.

 

If a household member was being allowed deductions and leaves the household, the allowable deduction is removed when the household member is removed.
