The purpose of this General Information System (GIS) message is to advise social services districts of the new income levels effective April 1, 2008, pursuant to Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2008. Income levels have been standardized statewide for Single Individuals and Childless Couples (S/CCs) and Low Income Families (LIF). This new income standard is called the Medicaid Standard. Also, the Medically Needy income levels have increased for households of 3 and higher. The new income levels, as well as CNS, will be programmed and available in early August 2008.
