SI 01310.127 Deeming Concept - Deemor

Definition

A deemor is an individual whose income and resources are subject to deeming, as defined in SI 01310.001B. Such individuals include:

• •

  Ineligible parents;

• •

  Sponsors of noncitizens;

• •

  Ineligible spouses; and

• •

  Essential persons.

It does not matter whether these individuals have sufficient income or resources to deem; they are still considered to be deemors.

The type of income such an individual receives (e.g., public income-maintenance payments such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, VA pensions based on need) does not exclude them from this definition.
