775-1          COMPUTING ELIGIBILITY TEST INCOME

Once the incomes of each member of the economic unit are identified, exempt incomes are disregarded, and the gross countable monthly incomes of all members of the assistance unit are added together.  Cents are kept in the calculation.

• For a Pregnant Woman case, the needs, resources, and income of all household members who would be included in the mandatory filing unit if the unborn child were born must be considered (see ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program MSManual Section 770-2). 

• If there are earnings from self-employment, deduct the allowable costs of doing business from the self-employment income and count the adjusted gross self-employment income. 

• If income is deemed to the assistance unit from a stepparent,  the parent of a minor parent, or an alien sponsor(s) refer to ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program MSManual Section 770-8 for guidance.
