2645 Time Limited

Assistance under the MediKan program shall be limited to a fixed 12-month coverage period beginning with the first eligible month. This 12-month coverage period is a lifetime limit. Once established, the coverage period continues to run consecutively for 12 months even if the individual becomes otherwise ineligible (i.e.: excess income or resources, moved out of state, marries a non-disabled person) and eligibility is discontinued. Eligibility may be reestablished within the fixed 12-month coverage period if otherwise eligible but shall not extend past the established fixed 12-month coverage period.

There is no MediKan eligibility after the expiration of this coverage period. If only one spouse has reached the limit, the other spouse is not eligible while living together.
