Appendix A: Income and Resource Limits for HCBS Programs

INCOME AND RESOURCE LIMITS FOR HCBS WAIVER PROGRAMS

EFFECTIVE 1/1/12

 

The CAO does not apply these limits or determine income or resource eligibility or a patient pay amount if the HCBS applicant or participant receives SSI.

Exception:  The CAO will use these limits to determine if an applicant for the MA 0192 Waiver Program who is receiving MNO is eligible to receive NMP.

 

GROSS INCOME LIMIT: One Person $2,094 per month
The individual is eligible if total gross countable income is equal to or less than the limit.  This special MA income limit is based on 300% of the current Federal Benefit rate (current rate=$698)
RESOURCE LIMIT: One Person $2,000*
In addition to the resource limit, there is an additional $6,000 resource disregard for NMP (300% FBR) categories of MA LTC.
