Section 580 - Dependency

A person is receiving at least one-half of his support from a member if the member is making regular contributions in cash or kind to such support to the extent of one-half or more thereof.

(a) "Support," includes food, shelter, clothing, ordinary medical expenses, and other ordinary and customary items of maintenance of the persons supported at the standard of living in the occupation or employment engaged in by the person supported while he was employable. In determining support at the time of death, consideration may be given to support during the year preceding death. To the extent that the person supported and other persons derive support from a common fund or receive a common item of support and expenditures cannot be identified as to person and disproportionate support requirements are not shown, the person's support shall be established by equal proration of the total expenditures between the persons.
(b) A contribution made to a fund to which several persons contribute and from which several members of a family derive common support will be presumed made to the support of each person deriving support from the fund in the proportion of such contribution to the total contribution. Community funds of a member and a member's spouse contributed to the support of the member's parent or parents will be considered a contribution by the member to a maximum of the amount of community funds or property considered the property of the member under this rule.
(c) Any person claiming a benefit as a dependent parent shall file an affidavit or statement under penalty of perjury concerning the income and support in such form or forms and in such detail as may be required by the Executive Officer.
