Section 441.41.29. Composite FIP/SSI cases.

When persons in the family investment program household, who would ordinarily be in the eligible group, are receiving supplemental security income benefits, the following rules shall apply.

       41.29(1) Pending SSI approval. When a person who would ordinarily be in the eligible group has applied for supplemental security income benefits, the person’s needs may be included in the family investment program grant pending approval of supplemental security income.

       41.29(2) Ownership of property. When property is owned by both the supplemental security income beneficiary and the family investment program recipient, each shall be considered as having a half interest in order to determine the value of the resource, unless the terms of the deed or purchase contract clearly establish ownership on a different proportional basis.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 239B.5.
