750-2          INDIVIDUALS EXCLUDED FROM THE PAYMENT CALCULATION:

Certain individuals living in the household, who are not included in the ATAP benefit calculation must have their resources and income counted in determining eligibility and amount of the grant. These include:

• An ineligible alien who is the natural or adoptive parent of a dependent child in the assistance unit, including parents who are ineligible aliens because they are sponsored by an agency or organization or are over-resource or over-income because of alien-to-sponsor deeming; 

• A parent who is married to the dependent child’s stepparent when the stepparent owns countable resources that would cause the entire assistance unit to exceed the ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program resource limit if that parent were included in the filing unit; and 

• An individual required to be included in the filing unit while that person is serving a TATemporary Assistance penalty period, such as the penalty for non-compliance with an assigned work activity or non-cooperation with CSSDChild Support Services Division .

All of the situations above may be time-limited.  When the individual’s period of ineligibility ends, or the TATemporary Assistance penalty is lifted, the case worker must reevaluate the situation and redetermine eligibility to reflect the changed situation.
