Section 182-509-0360. MAGI income—How a child's income is counted.

For purposes of determining eligibility for modified adjusted gross income (MAGI)–based Washington apple health (WAH) (see WAC 182-509-0300):

(1) Income received by a child claimed as a tax dependent by someone else is not counted when determining the eligibility of the tax filers who claim the tax dependent.

(2) Income received by a child in a nonfiling medical assistance unit (as described in WAC 182-506-0010) is not counted when determining the eligibility of the child or the other household members in the nonfiling household.

(3) Income received by a child age eighteen or younger who is required to file his or her own tax return but who is also claimed as a tax dependent by another person is counted when determining eligibility for WAH for the child, but not the person that claims them.

(4) Income of a sibling is not counted when determining the eligibility of any other sibling in the household.
