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/ |
All institutionalized persons applying for MA must meet the same nonfinancial requirements. Spousal impoverishment policy introduces no changes in MA nonfinancial tests.
On the financial side:
Assets. The assets of both the institutionalized person and his/her spouse are counted in the asset test.
Income Income is anything you receive in cash or in kind that you can use to meet your needs for food, clothing, and shelter.. The income limit is the same as that for non-spousal impoverishment institutionalized persons. But, after the institutionalized person becomes eligible, s/he is allowed to allocate some of his/her income back to his/her community spouse and family.
