Section 7 AAC 100.134 - Resources of a caretaker relative, dependent child, and stepparent(a) To determine whether a household's nonexempt resources exceed the resource limit in 7 AAC 100.130, the department will consider the following factors: (1) what nonexempt resources the caretaker relative has;(2) whether the caretaker relative's nonexempt resources are considered to be available to a dependent child under this chapter;(3) what nonexempt resources are owned by a dependent child.(b) The department will consider the nonexempt resources of a dependent child to be available to the household under the same circumstances as the department considers the dependent child's nonexempt income to be available to the household under 7 AAC 100.150(b) (3) - (5).(c) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, if a dependent child is living with a parent, the department will consider all of the nonexempt resources available to the parent to be equally available to the dependent child. If the dependent child is living with a caretaker relative who is not a parent, the department will not consider the nonexempt resources available to the caretaker relative to be available to the dependent child, unless the caretaker relative is also receiving Family Medicaid benefits.(d) The department will consider all of the resources of one spouse to be available to the other spouse if the couple lives together.(e) The department will not consider the resources of a stepparent to be available to the stepchild, even if the (1) stepchild and the stepparent live in the same house;(2) stepparent has assumed the responsibilities of a parent; or(3) stepparent has claimed the stepchild as a deduction or exemption for income tax purposes.(f) The department will not consider the resources of a minor parent's parent to be available to the minor parent.Eff. 7/20/2007, Register 183Authority:AS 47.05.010
