The customer is a 70-year-old single individual. The customer applies for AHCCCS Medical Assistance in February 2026.
The customer receives monthly income of $1,050.00 for Social Security retirement. He also works part time and made $125.00 in February 2026 from his job.
The customer’s eligibility is calculated as follows:
Step Action 1 Calculate net unearned income as follows: $1,050.00 customer’s total countable unearned income that is not needs based - $0.00 1/3 child support deduction (not applicable) = $1,050.00 subtotal - $20.00 (general income deduction) = $1,030.00 subtotal + $0.00 income based on need (not applicable) = $1,030.00 net unearned income 2 Calculate net earned income as follows: $125.00 (customer’s total countable earned income) - $0.00 (unused portion of the $20.00 general income deduction) - $65.00 (standard work expense deduction) - $0.00 (IRWE deduction) = $60.00 (subtotal of earned income) - $30.00 (one-half of the subtotal of earned income) - $0.00 (blind work expense deduction) = $30.00 (net earned income) 3 Calculate total net income as follows: $1,030.00 (net unearned income from Step 1 above) + $30.00 (net earned income from Step 2 above) = $1,060.00 subtotal of net income - $ 0.00 child allocation (not applicable) = $1,060.00 (total net income) 4 Compare the result in Step 3 above to $994.00 (100% of the FBR for an individual). Because $1,060.00 is greater than $994.00, the customer is income ineligible for AHCCCS Medical Assistance using the FBR standard. Continue to Step 5 to determine eligibility using the 100% FPL standard. 5 Take the total net income result from Step 3 and add the one-half subtotal of earned income from Step 2 back in: $1,060.00 (total net income from FBR test) + $30.00 (one-half subtotal of earned income) = $1,090.00 (total net income) 6 Compare the result in Step 5 above to $1,330.00 (100% of the FPL for an individual): Because $1,090.00 is less than $1,330.00, the customer is income eligible for SSI-MAO using the FPL standard.
