Social Security Administration (SSA) establishes a “threshold amount” for each state to determine income eligibility for 1619b individuals. SSA only uses gross earned income to determine eligibility under 1619b criteria.

The SSA threshold amount for Missouri can be located here: https://www.ssa.gov/disabilityresearch/wi/1619b.htm .

If an individual is SSA 1619 eligible, do not consider the income of other household members.

If each spouse is SSA 1619 eligible, consider each spouse an individual case.

If only one spouse is SSA 1619 eligible, and the other is applying or receiving Non-MAGI, consider the income and medical expenses of the 1619 individual in determining eligibility for the non-1619 spouse.
