Client has an adult child, disabled with Autism. The child lives with the client.
I am working with them to complete the support test calculation, to ensure they are a qualifying child. The first iteration would indicate they are, as almost all of the child's income from SSD and wages is placed into an ABLE account, and not used for support. They do not receive SSI. The parents provide all living expenses.
I am somewhat confused, however, by the fact that the child participates in a day program operated by a non profit. Much of the cost of operating the program is provided by the State, through their disabilities administration. None of the child's living expenses are provided through this program.
How do I view this program and its associated cost? Is it considered support? I would think it clearly would be if it involved housing and other basic living expenses, but this does not do that.
