Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services Obsolete Medicaid Eligibility Handbook For the current MEH, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/meh-ebd/ For the current BC Plus Handbook, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/bcplus/ |
In Family MA cases, disregard all student financial aids regardless of source. This includes student loans, grants, scholarships and work study, and any financial assistance provided by a public or private organization for the purpose of obtaining an education. Disregard the full amount of student financial aids, including any amounts earmarked for living expenses.
However, if a student has income from an internship or assistantship that is not part of work study or another student aid, count the income from the internship or assistantship as earned income.
|
Example: Clark is a journalism student. The University School of Journalism has arranged an internship for him to work 10 hours a week at The Daily Planet. The newspaper pays him $30 a week. Count this as earned income when you are determining Clark's eligibility. |
Disregard stipends to HS students from the UW Upward Bound program, to encourage low income students to further their education.
See 4.4.3 for instructions on how to treat income that is earned under the Workforce Investment Act ( WIA ). The Job Training Partnership Act ( JTPA ) was replaced by the Workforce Investment Act on July 1, 2000.
