751-3          CARETAKER RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITY AND RESOURCES

The determination of whether an applicant and/or the dependent children are needy with regard to resources is not always a single decision.  It may consist of 4 separate determinations:

1. What amount of non-exempt resources does the caretaker relative have? 

2. Can the caretaker relative’s non-exempt resources be assumed to be available to the dependent children? 

3. What amount of non-exempt resources do the dependent children on the application have in their own right? 

4. Is the total amount of countable resources available to the assistance unit exactly equal to or less than the resource limit?
