Due to a 3.6 percent cost of living adjustment for SSA payments effective January 1, 2012, several figures used in determining Medicaid eligibility must be updated. With an increase to the SSI benefit levels, the medically needy income and resource levels will be adjusted accordingly. As a result of these changes, the Mass Rebudgeting (MRB) will be performed in November for January 1, 2012 budget changes.
