Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 120.390 - Persons Who May Be Included In the Assistance Unit

a) MANG(C)

1) The assistance unit must include at least one eligible child or only an adult(s) caretaker relative whose eligibility is based on a child who is otherwise eligible except the child receives SSI. No more than two of the following individuals may be included as adults:

A) The caretaker relative;

B) The parent of an eligible child;

C) The needy relative other than the caretaker relative who provides at least one of the following services:

i) child care which enables the caretaker relative to work on a full-time (at least 100 hours per month) paid basis outside the home;

ii) care for an incapacitated family member in the home;

iii) child care that enables a caretaker relative to receive training full-time;

iv) child care that enables a caretaker relative to attend high school or General Educational Development (GED) classes full-time; or

v) child care for a period not to exceed two months that enables the caretaker relative to participate in a Project Chance (AFDC) work program such as Job Search.

2) The eligibility of a child in an Assistance unit depends on that child's lack of parental support or care. All eligible dependent children and stepchildren in a family unit shall be included in a single case, except in two-parent households where there are children of differing parentage, some of whom lack parental support or care because of the unemployment of a parent. In such a circumstance two separate assistance cases shall be established: one for both adults and children whose eligibility derives from their parent's unemployment and one for the remaining children. The provisions of this Section shall not affect the right of a child who is a parent to receive assistance in a separate case as a caretaker relative for his/her dependent child.

b) MANG(AABD)

The eligible person only shall be included in the assistance unit.

c) MANG(P)

The assistance unit shall only include pregnant women and children born October 1, 1983, or later who meet the eligibility requirements of Section 120.11.
