1) Move from licensed and registered assisted living facility (ALF) to licensed and registered nursing facility
An active ALTCS customer lived in an ALF in January 2026. The ALF is licensed and registered with AHCCCS. The customer is not married and has no other health insurance. The share of cost calculation is as follows:
Total countable income $2200.00 Personal Needs Allowance -$2982.00 Total Share of Cost =$0.00
On February 23, 2026, the customer moved to a skilled nursing facility. The skilled nursing facility is licensed and registered with AHCCCS. The customer notified AHCCCS of the move on the same day. The new SOC calculation is as follows:
Total countable income $2200.00 Personal Needs Allowance -$149.10 Total Share of Cost =$2050.90
Since the new SOC amount is higher, the customer must be notified of the change 10 days before it is effective. The effective date of the new SOC will be April 1, 2026.
