N.M. Admin. Code § 8.150.520.10

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 20, October 22, 2024

Section 8.150.520.10 - GROSS INCOME OF INELIGIBLE NONCITIZENS

The gross income received by any ineligible non-citizen household member must be prorated and counted to establish the benefit amount.

A. Definition: If any member of the household providing income to the household is an ineligible non-citizen for TANF purposes, that member's income is not counted in its entirety but is prorated. Prorating results in excluding a portion of the ineligible non-citizen household member's income from consideration because the ineligible non-citizen is not a recipient of public assistance benefits.

B. Proration calculation: Calculate the gross income of the ineligible non-citizen and divide the total by the number of members, eligible and ineligible, in the household. The resulting figure is the pro-rata portion of the income for each member, eligible and ineligible. To determine the portion of the income to be counted, multiply the pro rata portion by the remaining number of eligible household members.
