Section 181.261 - Gross earnings of a child

The gross earnings of a child do not count as income when determining income eligibility for MA, if one of the following conditions is met:

(1) The child is under 21 years of age, meets the deprivation of support conditions under § 153.43 (relating to TANF deprivation of support or care requirements), and is a student as follows:
(i) A full-time student in an elementary or a secondary school, college, university, vocational or technical school. The student shall be enrolled in, and physically attending full-time, as defined and certified by the school or institute attended, a program of study or training leading to graduation or an equivalent certificate.
(ii) A part-time student who is employed part-time. The employment status of the student, that is, whether he is employed full-time or part-time is determined during that period when school is in session. Full-time employment during school vacation does not affect the status of the student as a part-time employe as long as it is reasonably expected that the child will return to school.
(iii) A participant in the Job Corps Program under the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982 (29 U.S.C.A. §§ 1501-1781).
(2) The child meets the deprivation of support conditions under § 153.43 and is a nonstudent under 18 years of age whose earnings are from a program under the Job Training Partnership Act. This earnings exemption is for a maximum of 6 calendar months per calendar year for a child.
(3) The child does not meet the deprivation of support conditions under § 153.43 and is under 14 years of age.
(4) The child does not meet the deprivation of support conditions under § 153.43, is 14-17 years of age, and the earnings are from a program under the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982. This earning exemption is for a maximum of 6 calendar months per calendar year.
