SI 01330.340 Examples - Eligible Child Multiple Deeming

Lives with an ineligible parent and an eligible parent

Don and Morgan White live together with their son, Paul, who is age 6. Morgan is disabled and Paul is blind. Morgan and Paul both applied for SSI on August 10, 2024.

The parents have the following resources:

$1,000 - savings belonging to both Don and Morgan White
+ 200 - cash on hand
$1,200 - couple's countable resources

Paul does not have any resources.

The resource computation follows:

$1,200 - couple's countable resources
-3,000 - couple's resource limit (in 2024)
0

Morgan White meets the resource eligibility requirement. Therefore, there are no parental resources to deem to Paul, and Paul also meets the resource eligibility requirement.

Lives with both parents - one parent is not applying for SSI - One parent applies for SSI but does not meet resource eligibility requirement

Jayden and Tonya Ryder live together with their daughter, Mary, who is age 14. Tonya and Mary both applied for SSI on May 15, 2024.

Mary owns United States savings bonds worth $200.

The parents have the following resources:

$2,000 - savings belonging to both Jayden and Tonya Ryder
 900 - value of a second car
+ 200 - cash on hand
$3,100 - couple's countable resources

The resource computation follows:

$3,100 - couple's countable resources
-3,000 - couple's resource limit (in 2024)
$ 100 - excess resources

Tonya Ryder does not meet the resource eligibility requirement.

Since Tonya Ryder is ineligible for SSI, the resource computation for Mary is as follows:

$3,100 - parents' countable resources
-3,000 - couple's resource limitation (in 2024)
$ 100 - resource value deemed
+ 200 - child's resources
$ 300 - child's countable resources

Since Mary's countable resources do not exceed the resource limit for an individual, Mary meets the resource eligibility requirements.
