A caretaker, temporarily living apart from the remaining members of the child care

uniformed service, is not considered absent from the home as long as the caretaker continues
to function as caretaker, even if the level of support or care is reduced. The caretaker is counted
as a child care assistance unit member and all gross countable income of that caretaker is
included as child care assistance unit income used to determine the child care assistance
payment.
