Dependent Person Allowance - Countable Income - Iowa

When determining income eligibility and payment amount for a dependent person allowance, apply the following deductions in the order listed:

· Deduct the first $20 of earned or unearned income.

Exception: Do not apply the $20 disregard to income paid by a federal agency (including veteran’s pension) or a charitable organization on the basis of need.

Apply only one $20 deduction to any dependent person group. Apply the deduction in the way that is most advantageous to the client.

· If there is only earned income, apply the deduction to the earnings of the dependent first. Apply any remaining amount of the deduction to the earnings of the eligible person.

If there is only unearned income, apply the deduction to the combined income of the eligible person and dependent.

If there is both earned and unearned income, apply the deduction first to the unearned income. Apply any remaining amount of the deduction to the earned income of the eligible person.

· Deduct $65 per month of the recipient’s remaining earned income to cover work expenses, plus one-half of the remaining balance.

ELIGIBILITY NOTE: For dependents, when determining eligibility, deduct $65 per month of the dependent’s earned income, but do not apply the deduction of one-half of the balance.

PAYMENT AMOUNT NOTE: When determining the payment amount, the dependent income amount is not included.
