When the fiscal group has met the deductible, it can be certified for MA to the end of the deductible period.
Income Income is anything you receive in cash or in kind that you can use to meet your needs for food, clothing, and shelter. changes do not affect the group's eligibility for the remainder of the deductible period.
If the MA group acquires new assets during the remainder of the deductible period, wait until the last day of the month in which it acquired the assets. If the group has excess assets on the last day of the month, discontinue MA eligibility.
If there is a change in non-financial eligibility during the deductible period, discontinue MA eligibility for those persons who have become non-financially ineligible.
The deductible period (4.9.3) for which excess income is calculated may include a month(s) in which, if a client had applied, s/he would have been ineligible for a non-financial reason.
If a child enters the MA group, the child's name will appear on the MA card for the remainder of the deductible period.
If an adult caretaker relative (3.5.1.1) who is EBD or is medically verified as pregnant enters the MA group, his/her name will appear on the MA card for the remainder of the deductible period.
If a client loses non-financial eligibility and regains it during the same deductible period, the client may choose:
to continue with the current deductible period.
