Minnesota Statutes Public Welfare and Related Activities (Ch. 245-267) § 256J.36. Allocation for unmet need of other household members

Except as prohibited in paragraphs (a) and (b), an allocation of income is allowed from the caregiver's income to meet the unmet need of an ineligible spouse or an ineligible child under the age of 21 for whom the caregiver is financially responsible who also lives with the caregiver. That allocation is allowed in an amount up to the difference between the MFIP standard of need for the assistance unit when that ineligible person is included in the assistance unit and the MFIP standard of need for the assistance unit when the ineligible person is not included in the assistance unit. These allocations must be deducted from the caregiver's counted earnings and from unearned income subject to paragraphs (a) and (b).
