40.6 FPw Group

40.6.1 Fetus

40.6.2 Minors

 

The FPW test group is formed using the rules for regular BC+. (Chapter 2)

40.6.1 Fetus

Increase the FPW group by one for each fetus a pregnant woman in the FPW group is carrying.

 

Example: Samantha and Howard are married, and have two minor daughters, Shannon and Colleen.  Shannon is pregnant.  Samantha is only requesting FPW for herself, and is requesting BC+ for her two daughters.

 

Shannon and Colleen are found eligible for BC+.  In building the FPW group, Shannon, Shannon’s fetus, and Colleen are counted children.  Howard is part of the FPW group, because he is legally responsible for Samantha.  The FPW group size is five for Samantha.

 

40.6.2 Minors

Children under 19, who are applying for FPW are a group of one, unless s/he is married and/or has children.  Parents are not included in the group.
