This does not apply if the sponsor and his/her spouse receive cash assistance (SSI, GR, etc.). See CW 43-100 Responsible Relatives for more information. How is income determined for a sponsored noncitizen? The income is determined by the total amount of unearned/earned income of the sponsor and his/her spouse, i.e., wages or salary, or net earnings from self-employment.
