1. a. 

   Relationship of Household to Deeming — Deeming from spouse-to-spouse or parent-to-child only applies in household situations as defined in SI 01310.140A. in this section. Unless temporarily absent, only those individuals residing in the household are a part of the household for deeming purposes.

2. b. 

   Lack of Residence — Spouse-to-spouse and parent-to-child deeming do not apply in situations where a family does not have a residence. For example, if a family lives in a car because they cannot afford shelter, neither spouse-to-spouse nor parent-to-child deeming would apply.

3. c. 

   Absence From the Household — An individual is not a member of the household if the individual is absent from home for a period which is not a temporary absence as defined in SI 01310.165 (for example, confinement in a public institution as described in SI 00520.001).
   
   For absences due to active duty military assignments, see SI 01310.170.

4. d. 

   Child Born at Home — A child born at home, for whom a claim for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments is filed, is a member of the household from the month of birth.

5. e. 

    Child Born in an Institution — If a child is born in an institution (e.g., a hospital), the child is not a member of the household until the month after the month they go home.

Deeming does not apply when an eligible individual and ineligible spouse are living in an institution even when they are sharing a room.

Deeming does apply in noninstitutional care situations (e.g., adult foster care) if the eligible individual is placed with a deemor (see SI 00835.790A.2.).

Deeming applies from a sponsor to noncitizen even if they do not live together in the same household. However, certain statutory exclusions of a sponsor's income only apply if the sponsor and noncitizen are living in the same household (see SI 01320.105).
