N.M. Admin. Code § 8.102.520.13 - DEEMED INCOME DETERMINATION
A.
The earned and unearned income of certain non-benefit group members shall be
deemed available to the eligible benefit group members. The income shall be
deemed from the following:
(1) the parent of
a minor parent;
(2) a participant
or applicant who has been disqualified from participation because of a failure
or refusal to provide a social security number;
(3) an ineligible non-citizen.
B. Earned income deductions: An
employed ineligible group member's earned income shall be allowed an earned
income deduction of $125. The remainder is the net countable earned income of
the non-benefit group member.
C.
Unearned income: No deductions are allowed from the unearned income of a
ineligible group member whose income is deemed available to the benefit
group.
D. Deeming of income:
(1) The net countable earned income and all
of the unearned income of a non-benefit group member shall be divided by the
total number of benefit group and ineligible group members. The result is the
prorated income amount.
(2) The
deemed income to the eligible benefit group members shall be determined by
multiplying the prorated income amount by the number of eligible benefit group
members. The non-benefit group member's share of the prorated income shall be
excluded from consideration.
