I. PURPOSE
This Administrative Directive (OMM/ADM) advises social services districts of the January 1, 2004 increases in the following amounts:
1. the maximum protected resource allowance for a community spouse;
2. the community spouse's minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance; and
3. the family member allowance.
These amounts are used in determining the Medicaid eligibility of an institutionalized spouse.
The ADM also includes a revised “Information Notice to Couples with an Institutionalized Spouse.” The definition of an institutionalized spouse is amended to include a person who is receiving institutional or noninstitutional services under a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) program as defined in sections 1934 and 1894 of the federal Social Security Act.
