The sponsor definition and sponsor deeming exception rules in Common Rules - Alien Sponsor chapter must be applied first when deeming resources from a sponsor to an alien.
For each sponsor, determine the resources to be deemed to the alien as follows:
If the sponsor does not have a spouse living in the home:
- Calculate countable resources for the sponsor AND
- Compare the total countable resources to the resource limit for an individual AND
- Deem the value of resources in excess of the resource limit to the alien
- If the sponsor has a spouse living in the home:
- Calculate countable resources for the sponsor and his/her spouse AND
- Combine their countable resources and compare to the resource limit for a couple AND
- Calculate the amount of resources in excess of the resource limit to the alien
Total all deemable amounts to determine the amount to be deemed to the alien.
