5104-2 HOUSEHOLD COMBINATIONS
A household can consist of any number of eligible children of any eligible relationship to the specified relative. The household may include:
One specified relative
and any number of dependent children with an eligible relationship to
the specified relative;
Only a dependent
child or children;
Only a specified
relative and no child if the specified relative is (1) a pregnant woman
in her last trimester; (2) a parent of a child receiving SSI Supplemental Security Income; or (3) within
the fifth degree of kinship to a dependent child receiving Federal, State
or local foster care maintenance payments;
Two parents and any number of dependent children, if the household meets the requirements of deprivation by unemployment.
