See Policy Memo, 2007-09-01 re: Long Term Care Partnership Information . The maximum allowable nonexempt resources of all members of the assistance family group shall not exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000) for one person and three thousand dollars ($3,000) for two or more persons who are in the family group (excluding SSI recipients). For the QWD program, an individual may own nonexempt resources up to 2 times these allowable standards. In the QMB, LMB, and Expanded LMB programs , the resource limit shall not exceed the resource standard as noted in the F-8, Kansas Medical Assistance Standards ; see 2671.3 exception for SSI recipients eligible for Medicare coverage. In the Working Healthy program, the maximum allowable nonexempt resources shall not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for any size family group.

In addition to the resource amounts listed above for the Medically Needy, Working Healthy, QMB and LMB programs, an additional resource disregard shall be allowed in an amount equal to the total benefits paid out under a Qualified Long Term Care Insurance Partnership policy for that individual.

In determining SI eligibility, the $2,000/$3,000 standards are applicable where a countable trust arrangement exists in accordance with 2631 and 5620 .

There is no resource test for children and young adults under the age of 21 seeking coverage under the LTC or Medically Needy programs, or for young adults under the age of 26 in the Aged Out Foster Care program.
