BUDGETING

(4) The Singles/Childless Couples (S/CC) budgeting methodology is used for A/Rs age 21 and over, but under age 65, who are not living with dependent children under age 21, not pregnant and who are not certified blind or certified disabled.

(5) The chronic care budgeting methodology is used for all individuals in permanent absence status (See GLOSSARY).

NOTE: FNP parents can NOT spenddown to obtain full Medicaid coverage.

Frequently, more than one budgeting methodology is used to determine eligibility. For example, a certified disabled person may be given the choice between LIF, ADC-related budgeting and SSI-related budgeting. The remaining family members are only eligible for either LIF or ADC-related budgeting, as appropriate.

(See INCOME MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAM for the treatment of Medicare beneficiaries (QMBs, SLMBs, etc.))

Disposition: After applying the appropriate methodology to arrive at the net available income, the net available income is compared to the appropriate income/resource level. All other eligibility requirements must be met.
