INCOME LIF BUDGETING METHODOLOGY

MEDICAID STANDARD

Policy The A/R cannot have net income equal to or in excess of the Medicaid Standard (and MBL Living Arrangement Chart, as appropriate) to be eligible under LIF. (See INCOME LOW INCOME FAMILIES (LIF) BUDGETING METHODOLOGY)

References: ADMs OMM/ADM 97-2 97 ADM-23

GIS

08 MA/022

Interpretation: Net income is calculated after disregards have been applied. A/Rs of LIF receive certain deductions from income. (See INCOME LIF DISREGARDS)

Disposition: The A/Rs net income is compared to the Medicaid Standard (and MBL Living Arrangement Chart, as appropriate) based on the A/R’s household size. If the household’s income equals or exceeds the Medicaid Standard (and MBL Living Arrangement Chart, as appropriate) the household is ineligible for LIF and eligibility is determined using Medically Needy or poverty level budgeting.
