We are revising our rules on deeming of income so that we use the same increased earned income exclusion amounts for both eligible and ineligible students in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) households. Beginning with earned income for January 2001, the monthly and yearly SSI student child earned income exclusion (SEIE) amounts were increased for eligible children based on final rules published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2000. The same increase should have been made for ineligible children for purposes of deeming calculations, but it was inadvertently not included in the published final rules. Under SSA's longstanding rule, the same SEIE amounts have applied to the income of both eligible and ineligible children. Consistent with the increase made in the final rules published December 29, 2000, this final rule applies the same increase in the SEIE to ineligible children.
