A. MAGI-Based relationship rules
1. Tax-filing households. Determine if the CHIP household expects to file a tax return. The household size for CHIP for a tax filing household is determined based on the number of individuals the tax filer expects to claim exemptions for on his tax return. In some cases, the relationship of the individuals living together are also used to determine the household size, so it is important to know both the tax filing status and the relationships of individuals in the household.
2. Non-tax filing households. When the individual is not a tax filer, relationship rules determine who to include in each individual's MAGI household size.
