§ 181.304. Income received as representative payee for a child.

If a member of the applicant/recipient group is payee for a benefit for a child and the benefit is legally restricted to the use of that child, the income is not counted in determining income eligibility for MA if:
   (1)  The child is not included in the applicant/recipient group.
   (2)  The child is not an LRR to another person in the applicant/recipient group.
   (3)  The income is restricted to the use of a child on whose behalf it is paid. This type of income includes RSDI, veterans benefits, court-ordered support, allotments, benefits, awards, trust fund payments and voluntary support which is received from a parent. If the restricted income covers more than one child, each child is considered to have an equal share unless the payer or the court order specifies otherwise.
