responsible entity must deduct the following amounts from annual income:
    (1) $480 for each dependent;
    (2) $400 for any elderly family or disabled family;
    (3) The sum of the following, to the extent the sum exceeds three 
percent of annual income:
    (i) Unreimbursed medical expenses of any elderly family or disabled 
family; and
    (ii) Unreimbursed reasonable attendant care and auxiliary apparatus 
expenses for each member of the family who is a person with 
disabilities, to the extent necessary to enable any member of the family 
(including the member who is a person with disabilities) to be employed. 
This deduction may not exceed the earned income received by family 
members who are 18 years of age or older and who are able to work 
because of such attendant care or auxiliary apparatus; and
    (4) Any reasonable child care expenses necessary to enable a member 
of the family to be employed or to further his or her education.

written policy for such deductions.
    (2) For the HUD programs listed in Sec. 5.601(d), the responsible 
entity shall calculate such other deductions as required and permitted 
by the applicable program regulations.
