Dependent Person Allowance - Income Limits - Iowa

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) policy is used when determining countable income. See Countable Income for Dependent Person Allowance.

When a client is an SSI recipient, it is not necessary for State personnel to verify the client’s income. State personnel rely on the countable income as determined by the Social Security Administration.

In order to be eligible for a dependent person allowance:

·        The dependent must have countable monthly income of less than the difference between the single person SSI standard and the couple standard

·        The total countable monthly income of the client, the spouse, and the dependent relative must be less than the Assistance Standard:

If SSI is deeming income from the spouse, the spouse is not eligible as a dependent person because the spouse’s income exceeds the difference between the single person SSI standard and the couple standard. Also, if SSI is deeming income from a parent to an eligible child, the parent is not eligible.
