Spouse-to-Spouse Deeming
As an individual, Mrs. Clark's countable income of $450 ($470 - $20 general exclusion)
is less than the 2009 individual FBR of $674. Mrs. Clark is also eligible using the
couple FBR as follows:

$1425.00
|
Allocation for children
|

|
(2 x $337, minus $115)
|
|
Alien allocation ($337 minus $95)
|
-242.00
|
Mr. Clark's remaining earned income
|
$624.00
|
NOTE: Because the alien is eligible for SSI, use the alien allocation.
