MRG UPDATED: NOVEMBER 2007 90 CATEGORICAL FACTORS MEDICAID EXTENSIONS/CONTINUATIONS SECTION 249E OF THE PUBLIC LAW 92-603 References: SSL Sect. 366.2(b) 363-b Dept. Reg. 360-3.3(c)(14) ADMs 04 OMM/ADM-2 85 ADM-3 GIS 04 MA/031 Disposition: The current year RSDI benefit amount is multiplied by the current year RSDI percentage increase based on cost of living increases since August 1972 (both amounts can be found in REFERENCE SECTION 249E) to derive the amount used to determine eligibility for AABD in August 1972. If the person would have been eligible in August 1972, the current RSDI amount is multiplied by the factor representing the increases since August 1972 (factor can be found in REFERENCE SECTION 249E) to determine the amount, which is considered as income effective for the current year. This also addresses the need to disregard the 20% Social Security increase of October 1972.
