M900 Income

Income from financially-responsible household members is counted to determine an individual's eligibility. The individual's countable income must be calculated using actual income already received and anticipated income that can reasonably be expected during the month the application is submitted. Eligibility for Medicaid is determined by comparing the individual’s calculated income against the maximum income standards.
