Dependent Expense Example

Linda and her three children are receiving both NA and CA. Linda works and is billed $400 a month for child care for all three children. Linda drives her children to the child care provider on her way to work and picks them up on her way home.

Divide $400 by 3 to arrive at a per child amount:

$400 / 3 = $133.333

For CA, key CA in the TY field on EXNS for each child, the SUB, 01, to indicate Linda's position number on SEPA, and $133.33 next to two of the children. Round up the amount to $133.34 for the third child.

For NA, key CF in the TY field on EXNS for each child, the SUB, 01, to indicate Linda's position number on SEPA, and $133.33 next to two of the children. Round up the amount to $133.34 for the third child.

NOTE For NA, key CN in the TY field on EXNS when there is no transportation expense to or from the child care provider
