7 AAC 100.154. Prospective eligibility determination. The department will determine the prospective eligibility of a household by making, under 7 AAC 100.168, its best estimate of income, resources, and other circumstances that are anticipated to exist for the household during the month for which eligibility is being determined. To determine what it anticipates to exist with respect to resources and other circumstances of the household, the department will consider the

(1) circumstances of the preceding month and the current month that will affect Family Medicaid eligibility; and

(2) household’s estimate of what is likely to change during the month for which eligibility is being determined.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the department will consider money received by an individual included in the household to be income in the month it was received. If any of that money remains available to the household in the next month, the department will consider the remaining money a resource of the household. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the department will consider a cash payment made to an individual included in the household to be income only for one month. A cash payment becomes income on the first day it is available to an individual included in the household.
