If all contributions, plus the resources of the deceased, total $3,700 or more, none of the funeral director's expenses will be paid. 4810.05.05.10 CONTRIBUTIONS/RESOURCES OF $2,500 TO $3,700 (MED 1) If all contributions plus the resources of the deceased exceed $2,500 but are less than $3,700, the $1,200 maximum payment from state funds to the funeral director will be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount more than $2,500. The funeral director will be paid up to $1,200 or the amount of their unpaid expenses, whichever is less. The two separate examples below show how the calculation is performed where the same contribution towards funeral expenses is made with differing amounts for declared Funeral expenses. This shows where the same contribution can have markedly different payment back to Funeral Home. This Formula should be utilized when contributions are significantly less than documented submitted Funeral Expenses EXAMPLE 1: Contributions = $2,600 Funeral Expenses = $5,000 $2,600-$2,500 (exclusion) = $100 $1,200 (maximum payment) - $100 = $1,100 Payment to Funeral Director = $1,100 This formula should be utilized when contributions are considerably closer in dollar amount to documented submitted Funeral Expenses EXAMPLE 2: Contributions = $2,600 Funeral Expenses = $2,750 ($2,600 paid =$150 still owed) $2,750-$2,600 = $100 (exclusion) = $100 $1,200 (maximum payment) - $100 = $1,100 Payment to Funeral Director = $150 (Unpaid balance of funeral expenses.)
