460-3         SSI AND APAAdult Public Assistance DEEMING

SSASocial Security Administration will calculate the deemed income and resource amounts for SSISupplemental Security Income recipients.   DPA will use SSASocial Security Administration's resource determination for SSISupplemental Security Income recipients but not their deemed income calculation.  APAAdult Public Assistance payment calculations should be made following the guidance outlined in APA MS 452-1.

For those cases subject to deeming that are not eligible for SSISupplemental Security Income , the case worker will use the income and resource deeming processes described in this chapter.  For example, an APAAdult Public Assistance applicant who is not eligible for SSISupplemental Security Income because of an ineligible spouse's or alien sponsor's deemed income may still be eligible for APAAdult Public Assistance if the applicant's own countable income in combination with the countable deemed income is equal to or less than the applicable APAAdult Public Assistance need standard.
