Allowable deductions are deducted from gross countable income. Allowable deductions must be verified. If the allowable deductions are not verified, they cannot be allowed.
The only allowable deduction from gross countable income is court ordered child/spousal support paid, including arrearages.
A household must be given the opportunity to verify allowable deductions. If a household has been given that opportunity and does not provide the verifications, the case is processed without consideration of the claimed deductions.
If the household fails to provide verification within the 10 day period and provides verification at a later date, benefits are increased in the month the verification is received.
When removing a household member during the eligibility period, all deductions of that individual are removed effective the month the household member is removed. Eligibility must be redetermined for a decrease in co-payment.
