SSI-RELATED MEDICAID (Medically Needy, Categorically Need, Optional) 4.14.1 BUDGETING METHOD In addition to the information in Section 4.6, some Medically Needy cases may have other considerations, because Medically Needy cases have a fixed Period of Consideration (POC) and the total income for the six-month POC is used to determine the spenddown amount. Therefore, the Worker must take the following steps when the income is expected to change during the POC. Step 1: Determine the specific months that will constitute the POC. Step 2: Determine the anticipated earned income for each of the six months, according to Section 4.6. Step 3: Determine the anticipated unearned income for each of the six months, according to Section 4.6. Step 4: Take the result from Step 2 and divide by six to determine the average anticipated earned income for the POC. Step 5: Take the result from Step 3 and divide by six to determine the average anticipated unearned income for the POC. NOTE: When there is no earned income in a month, use $0 as income for that month, but always divide by six. NOTE: When there is no unearned income in a month, use $0 as income for that month, but always divide by six. NOTE: Spenddown provisions apply to Supplemental Security Income (SSI)-Related.
