TB Property Determination
TB Property Limit
CalSAWS will determine whether an individual meets the property limit for the TB Program, however, in a system outage, the MC 278 TB and MC 279 TB can be used. If the applicant’s nonexempt property is less than or equal to the TB property limit, then the applicant is property eligible.
The TB property limit is $2,000.
Each person, including a child applying for the TB program is evaluated as an individual, regardless of their marital status. CalSAWS will:
- Count each individual's non-exempt separate property,
- Count one-half of the non-exempt community property for each spouse.
- Evaluate the resources of the parent(s) for potential deeming to the TB child. (Property may be deemed from parent to child, but is NEVER deemed from spouse to spouse.)
Exempt and nonexempt property is determined according to regular MC rules. When determining a child's property eligibility and there are two parents in the home, CalSAWS will allow the parents a
$3,000 deduction from their property before it is deemed to the TB child.
Parental Deeming
When the applicant is a child, CalSAWS will determine if the resources of a parent(s) in the home must be “deemed” or allocated to the TB child as countable property.
CalSAWS will:
- Compute the total amount of non-exempt property belonging to a married or unmarried parent(s) in the home, EXCEPT:
- Any property from a parent eligible for the TB program.
- Any property from the parent(s) if one or both are public assistance (PA) or other PA.
- Any property from the stepparent in the home.
