24.53 INCOME The determination of which income sources to count is the same as Supplemental Security Income (SSI)- Related Medicaid. See Chapter 4. No income is deemed to the Children with Disabilities Community Service Program (CDCSP) client. The client's monthly gross countable income must be equal to or less than 300% of the maximum (SSI) payment for a single individual to be Medicaid-eligible. There is no post-eligibility process for this coverage group. 24.53.1 INCOME DISREGARDS AND DEDUCTIONS No income disregards or deductions are applied to the child's countable income. 24.53.2 DETERMINING FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY The Worker determines the child's own total countable income from all sources and compares it to 300% of the SSI payment level. If the income is equal to or less than 300% of the SSI payment level, the child is financially eligible.

NOTE: The spenddown provision does not apply.
