005.02(K)(iii) DELAYED COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA).

In determining countable income for aged, blind, or disabled recipients whose eligibility is determined by a comparison to the federal poverty line (FPL), the amount of Retirement, Survivors, or Disability Insurance (RSDI) increase received from the annual cost-of-living adjustment is not counted until the month after the month in which the annual revision to the federal poverty line (FPL) is published. This applies only to the Retirement, Survivors, or Disability Insurance (RSDI) benefits. A cost-of-living adjustment to another source of income continues to be counted in the first month it is received.
