Deeming of income or resources
"Deeming" is when resources (assets) or income from a relative is "assigned" or "shared" to a beneficiary. I have generally seen deeming in the case of an SSI beneficiary.
In your case, it seems like the income of one of you is being deemed to the other spouse. In general, deeming may reduce one's benefit.
