When the parent is not in the unit, e.g., an ineligible or sanctioned parent who is out of the unit, retroactive eligibility may be determined for the eligible dependent child(ren) if a medical need exists.
If the income of a parent (eligible or ineligible) is considered in determining MA for the dependent child, then the medical obligations and/or expenses of that parent must be considered to meet the share of cost of the unit. If income of a minor's parent(s) is considered in determining MA for the minor parent and his/her child(ren), the worker must consider the medical obligations and/or expenses of the minor's parent(s) and any other dependents of the parent(s) who are in the home and who are or could be claimed by the parent(s) as dependents for income tax purposes.
