VA TANF - Minor Parent Deeming from Senior Parents

When living together, senior parents' income is deemed available to the minor caretaker's TANF assistance unit until the minor is 18 years old.

A stepparent's income is not deemed available to a minor caretaker's assistance unit unless the parent is not living in the home and the parent and stepparent are married.

When the minor caretaker is an SSI recipient, and lives in the home of his/her parent, the income of the senior parent is deemed available to the minor caretaker's TANF assistance unit.

Deeming Procedure

NOTE: The following procedure is used for deeming from senior parents to minor parents, from ineligible alien parents, or from stepparents when the parent is not residing in the home but the stepparent and parent are married. (For stepparent deeming in other circumstances, see VA TANF - Stepparent Deeming.)

Subtract the following from gross earned and unearned income:

· The first $90 of gross earned income of each employed person.

· The Standard of Need (see note below) for household members claimed (or who could be claimed) as dependents on the senior parents', stepparents' or ineligible alien parents' federal income tax return, excluding members of the assistance unit. Do not count individuals excluded from the assistance unit because of a VIEW or IPV sanction.

NOTE: The Standard of Need is usually a few dollars more than the Standard of Assistance. Be sure to use the correct column in the table in the Standard of Assistance topic.

· Support paid to individuals not living in the home who are claimed or could be claimed as dependents on the senior parents', stepparents', or ineligible alien parents' federal income tax return.

· Payments for alimony and child support to individuals not living in the household and not claimed as dependents on the senior parents', stepparents', or ineligible alien parents' federal income tax return.

The amount remaining after the above deductions will be counted as unearned income and deducted from the grant.

In situations where the income of senior parents is being deemed available to more than one assistance unit, the amount to be deemed will be divided equally among the units for which the parents are responsible.

NOTE: A lump sum payment received by a senior parent or an ineligible alien parent is considered available to the assistance unit in the month of receipt only.
