Child Care Assistance Family Size - Iowa

The family includes the following members:

· Legal spouses (including common law) who reside in the same household.

· Natural, adoptive, or stepmother or stepfather, and children who reside in the same household.

· An individual or a child who lives alone or who resides with a person, or persons, not legally responsible for the child’s support.

A companion in the home is not considered in determining family size or income, unless there is a common child.

The composition of the family does not change when one or more of the family members is temporarily absent from the household. Persons who meet the definition of temporary absence are considered when determining family size. "Temporarily absent" means:

· A medical absence anticipated to be less than three months.

· An absence for the purpose of education or employment.

· Absence of a family member who intends to return home within three months.

Note: A child residing with a person or persons not legally responsible for the child’s support is considered to be a family of one. Only the child’s income is considered when determining financial eligibility.
