The customer is applying for ALTCS in March 2020. She has an income-only trust.
The customer:
Lives in an assisted living home;
Gets $4,000.00 per month in annuity income that is assigned to the trust;
Gets $1,000.00 per month from Social Security that is NOT assigned to the trust; and
Pays $144.60 for Medicare Part B and $100.00 for a Medicare supplement plan. Both payments are automatically deducted from the customer’s Social Security payment.
If she is approved for ALTCS, her SOC before the Medicare Buy-in occurs will be $2,406.40 . Her SOC after the Medicare buy-in will be $2,551.00 .
Since the deductions for Medicare Part B and the supplemental plan are deducted from an income that is outside of the trust, the health insurance premiums should not appear on the form.
The DE-313 should be completed as follows:
NOTE The income outside the trust ($1,000.00) plus the countable Personal Needs Allowance disbursement ($1,349.00) equals $2,349.00, which is the income limit for 2020. Any additional countable disbursements would put the customer over the income limit. If the trustee wanted to disburse the $244.60 left over in the trust in March 2020, the disbursement would have to be a type of disbursement that is not countable, such as legal or professional expenses.
