Sec.  222.58  When a child is living with an employee.



    A child is living with the employee if the child normally lives in 

the same household with the employee and the employee has parental 

control and authority over the child's activities. The child is 

considered to be ``living with'' the employee while they are living 

apart if they expect to live together again after a temporary 

separation. A temporary separation may include the employee's absence 

because of working away from home or hospitalization. However, the 

employee must have parental control and authority over the child during 

the period of temporary separation. A child who is in active military 

service or in prison is not ``living with'' the employee, since the 

employee does not have parental control over the child.
