The waiver of deeming of parental income and resources as provided in P.L. 101-239
continues as long as all of the conditions for waiver (SI 01310.201) remain in effect. In addition, the SSI recipient must meet all other SSI eligibility
criteria (e.g., the child's own countable income cannot exceed the $30 personal needs
allowance (plus any applicable optional State supplement)).
When a change occurs, use the following chart to determine its effect on eligibility
