Administrative Plan 4/1/16 <br /> <br />Page 3-8 <br />confirms that the child has been only temporarily removed from the home, the child will <br />not be counted as a family member. <br />Absent Head, Spouse, or Cohead <br />SAHA Policy <br />An employed head, spouse, or co-head absent from the unit more than 90 consecutive <br />days due to employment will continue to be considered a family member. <br />Family Members Permanently Confined for Medical Reasons [HCV GB, p. 5-22] <br />If a family member is confined to a nursing home or hospital on a permanent basis, that person is <br />no longer considered a family member and the income of that person is not counted [HCV GB, <br />p. 5-22]. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will request verification of the family member’s permanent absence from a <br />licensed medical professional. If the licensed medical professional cannot provide a <br />determination, the person will be considered permanently absent. <br />Return of Permanently Absent Family Members <br />SAHA Policy <br />The family must request SAHA approval for the return of any adult family members that <br />SAHA has determined to be permanently absent. SAHA will only approve adult <br />returning family members under the following circumstances: <br />- U.S. Military members returning to family within 90 days of separation <br />- College students returning within 90 days of graduation <br />- Family members removed for medical or disability issues <br />- Returning spouse <br />The individual is subject to the eligibility and screening requirements discussed <br />elsewhere in this chapter. <br /> <br />3-I.M. LIVE-IN AIDE <br />A live-in aide is a person who resides with one or more elderly persons, or near-elderly persons, <br />or persons with disabilities, and who: (1) is determined to be essential to the care and well-being <br />of the persons, (2) is not obligated for the support of the persons, and (3) would not be living in <br />the unit except to provide the necessary supportive services [24 CFR 5.403]. <br />SAHA must approve a live-in aide if needed as a reasonable accommodation in accordance with <br />24 CFR 8, to make the program accessible to and usable by the family member with disabilities. <br />The income of a live-in aide is not counted in the calculation of annual income for the family [24 <br />CFR 5.609(b)]. Relatives may be approved as live-in aides if they meet all of the criteria defining <br />a live-in aide. Because live-in aides are not family members, a relative who serves as a live-in <br />aide would not be considered a remaining member of a tenant family. <br /> <br />3-78
