Qualifying Individual (QI) Program (also called SMF benefit)

Helps pay for: Medicare Part B premiums.

Monthly income limit*: $1,796 for an individual and $2,435 for a couple (the federal government mandates services for people with incomes between 120% and 135% of the poverty level).

We are only allowed to serve a certain number of people each year for the SMF benefit. Unfortunately, we must shut down enrollment if we reach our limit. If you are eligible for any other Medicaid benefit offered by the State of Oregon, you are not eligible for the SMF benefit.

Note: In most states, this program is called the Qualifying Individual (QI) program. In Oregon, this is called the SMF benefit.
