89 Ill. Adm. Code 120.75. SPECIFIED LOW-INCOME MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES (SLIBS) AND QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS-1 (QI-1) INCOME STANDARDS

Section 120.75 Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiaries (SLIBs) and Qualified Individuals-1

(QI-1) Income Standards

The SLIB and QI-1 income standards are equal to a percentage of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) Income Guidelines as published annually in the Federal Register for the size of the household. If the household's countable monthly income (see 89 Ill. Adm. Code 112, 113, 120) exceeds the appropriate SLIB or QI-1 income standard, eligibility for SLIB or QI-1 status does not exist. The applicable percentages are as follows:

a) Effective January 5, 1998, the SLIB income standard is greater than 100 percent of the FPL, but less than 120 percent of the FPL.

b) Effective January 5, 1998, the QI-1 income standard is at least 120 percent of the FPL, but less than 135 percent of the FPL.
