Idaho Admin. Code r. 16.03.05.762

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 16.03.05.762 - SSI METHOD OF COUNTING INCOME AND RESOURCES OF A COUPLE

The SSI method is the same method used to count income and resources for AABD cash. Income and resources of the participant and spouse are counted as mutually available. This method must be used for months either spouse gets SSI or AABD cash, or an SSI and/or AABD application is filed and approved. This method must be used for Medicaid eligibility, and liability for the cost of long-term care, whether or not one (1) or both spouses apply for Medicaid. For long-term care, the couple's income and resources are mutually available when one (1) or both spouses apply during the month they separated, because one (1) or both left their mutual home to enter a long-term care facility.
