Sponsor to Alien Deeming

The sponsor definition and sponsor deeming exception rules in Common Rules - Alien Sponsor chapter must be applied first when deeming income from a sponsor to an alien.

Carry out the following process if no sponsorship deeming exceptions apply.

  1. For each sponsor, determine the amount of money to be deemed to the alien
  2. From the sponsor's and their live in spouse (if any) countable earned income:
    1. Deduct the $90 Work Allowance AND
    2. Add the gross countable unearned income AND
    3. Subtract an amount equal to 100% Standard of Need for the number of ineligible individuals, living in the sponsor's home AND
    4. The remaining amount, if any, is deemed as unearned income to the alien
