How do I determine the household size when determining eligibility for Low Income Families?
Generally, the household consists of a dependent child(ren) (including unborn child(ren); parent(s)/step parent(s) of a dependent child(ren) or one adult within the specified degree of relationship to a dependent child(ren) if there is no parent in the home or if the only parent in the home receives SSI; all brothers, sisters, half brothers, half sisters, adopted brothers or adopted sisters who meet age, and living arrangements. Do not include unrelated individuals who live together but do not have any children in common. An applicant can choose to exclude any child(ren) from the assistance unit for any reason.
