Section 120.30  MANG(C) Income Standard

a)         If the number in the household unit exceeds the number provided above, add $67 for each additional person.

b)         MANG(C) is available for a pregnant woman, of any age, who would be eligible for TANF or MANG(C) if the child had already been born.  The pregnant woman and her spouse's income are combined and compared to the MANG standard for three persons.

c)         If the case includes adults only, the MANG standard for one adult is $283.  The standard for two adults is $375.  An unborn child is counted as a family member.

d)         When a child has earmarked income, other than State Supplemental Income (SSI), and the parent does not want this income applied to total family needs, the child is not to be included in the assistance unit. The family size used in the application of the MANG(C) Income Standards shall be reduced by one for each such child determined ineligible on this basis.

e)         When financial eligibility for MANG(C) is being determined for one child only, the income of the child in excess of $283 a month is considered available to pay toward the child's medical expenses.

f)         If eligibility is being determined for more than one child, the MANG(C) Standard for number of people shall be used.
