Parental Deeming Worksheet

Use this worksheet to calculate the monthly deemable income from the ineligible parents. If there are more than 4 ineligible children, complete section 2a. through 2.c. on a separate worksheet, then add the allowed allocations for each additional child to the total allocations on line 2.d. (See 410-3)

· Deduct the child allocations and any child support/alimony paid by the ineligible parents first from unearned income (if any). Then deduct the rest from earned income.

· Do not include a child allocation for a disabled child. The deemed income will be divided equally between the disabled children.

Exception: If there is a disabled child in the home who will not be applying for Medicaid, and is not already eligible on Disability Medicaid, then allow an allocation for that child. In that case, treat that child as not disabled. All the deemed income will be counted as income to the disabled child who is applying for Medicaid.

· Dependent children receive a disregard of earned income (See 419-5). Apply that disregard before counting earned income to determine the allocation for the child. It includes a monthly limit, and an annual limit. The annual limit only includes months in which the disabled individual receives eligibility for Disability Medicaid. The annual limit does not include months in which the individual is not eligible or no spenddown is met.
